Private Trip
Inshore Fishing
Advanced 7hour inshore charter targeting trophy redfish and troutCaptain Robbie guides precision casting in Louisiana's premier watersHighend tackle, bait, and catch cleaning included for serious anglers
Captain Robbie's advanced charter isn't your typical day on the water—this is where serious anglers come to put their skills to the test against Louisiana's most sought-after inshore species. Over seven focused hours, you'll work the state's premier redfish and trout grounds, hitting spots that consistently produce trophy-class fish. With just two anglers aboard, you get personalized attention and access to techniques that separate weekend warriors from true stick-and-move pros. RSOME Fishing Charters brings the high-end tackle and local knowledge; you bring the precision and patience needed to capitalize when these fish are feeding hard.
This charter runs deep into Louisiana's productive inshore waters, where Captain Robbie has spent years mapping out the structure and seasonal patterns that hold big redfish and speckled trout. You'll be working everything from shallow grass flats to deeper channel edges, adjusting your approach based on tides, weather, and what the fish are telling you. The seven-hour window gives you time to really dial in your technique—no rushing from spot to spot hoping for a quick bite. Instead, you'll learn to read the water, understand how these fish move, and develop the casting accuracy that turns follows into hookups. Captain Robbie provides top-shelf tackle matched to the conditions, plus all the bait and lures proven to trigger strikes in these waters. Catch cleaning is handled dockside, so you can focus entirely on fishing while you're out there.
Advanced inshore fishing in Louisiana demands a completely different approach than basic guided trips. You'll be making long, accurate casts to specific structure, working lures with subtle retrieves that mimic distressed baitfish, and learning to feel the difference between a bite and bottom contact. Captain Robbie emphasizes lure finesse—understanding how different plastics, spoons, and topwater baits behave in various depths and current conditions. The techniques focus on sight-fishing when visibility allows, plus systematic coverage of prime holding areas when fish are relating to structure you can't see. You'll work with both artificial lures and live bait, learning when each approach gives you the edge. The boat positioning and drift management become critical skills, as these fish often require multiple presentations from different angles before they commit to striking.
Redfish are the backbone of Louisiana's inshore fishery, and the specimens in these waters can test even experienced tackle. These copper-colored bruisers typically run 20-35 inches in prime areas, with fish over 30 inches providing the kind of drag-screaming runs that make anglers' arms ache. Redfish feed aggressively throughout most of the year, but spring and fall offer the most consistent action as they move through shallow areas in predictable patterns. They're structure-oriented fish, relating to oyster bars, grass beds, and channel dropoffs where they ambush prey. What makes targeting big reds so addictive is their willingness to crush topwater lures in shallow water—watching a 25-pound red explode on a surface plug never gets old, and the fight in skinny water gives you nowhere to hide any mistakes in your drag settings or rod handling.
Speckled trout represent the technical side of Louisiana inshore fishing, requiring more finesse but delivering some of the most satisfying catches you'll experience. These fish typically range from 14-24 inches, with anything over 20 inches considered a quality trout that knows how to use the current and structure to its advantage. Trout are more temperature-sensitive than redfish, with peak activity during spring and fall when water temperatures hit that 65-75 degree sweet spot. They suspend at various depths depending on conditions, making lure selection and retrieve speed critical factors. Trout have excellent eyesight and can be picky about presentation, but when you dial in the right combination of lure color, depth, and action, they'll often school up and provide steady action. The fight is different from redfish—more head-shaking and jumping, with a tendency to throw hooks if you don't maintain steady pressure throughout the battle.
This charter fills up fast because Captain Robbie only takes serious anglers who want to push their skills to the next level. The small boat capacity means you get intensive, personalized instruction that you simply can't find on larger group trips. Louisiana's inshore waters are world-class, but accessing the best fishing requires local knowledge and advanced techniques that take years to develop on your own. Whether you're looking to break personal records or finally master the finesse presentations that consistently fool educated fish, this seven-hour intensive gives you the focused time on water you need. The combination of premium tackle, expert guidance, and proven fishing locations creates the perfect environment for serious anglers to level up their game and experience what Louisiana's inshore fishery is really capable of producing.
Captain Robbie's 24-foot Blue Wave cuts through Louisiana's inshore waters like it means business. This tournament-grade bay boat packs a serious 300HP Yamaha that'll push you to 38 knots when the bite is hot at distant flats. Built for serious redfish and trout hunters, she's designed to get you on fish fast and keep you there all day. The shallow draft lets you work skinny water where the big reds cruise, while the stable platform gives you the confidence to make those precision casts when it counts. With room for just two anglers, you'll have plenty of space to work lures and fight fish without bumping elbows. This isn't some weekend pleasure craft – it's a fishing machine built to handle Louisiana's challenging waters and deliver you to where the trophy fish live.
Sciaenops OcellatusLouisiana's signature fish and what most folks come here to catch. These copper-colored bruisers average 20-30 inches, but we regularly see bulls pushing 40+ inches in our waters. They love shallow flats from 1-4 feet deep, especially around oyster reefs, grass beds, and marsh edges. Fall and spring are peak seasons when they school up and feed aggressively. What sets reds apart? That distinctive black eyespot near the tail, their bulldogging fight, and the way they'll crash topwater lures in skinny water. Plus they're great eating when kept within slot limits. Pro tip: look for nervous water and baitfish getting pushed around - that's usually reds feeding underneath. Cast past the disturbance and work your bait back through it.
Salmo TruttaDown here we call them Speckled Trout, and they're one of Louisiana's premier inshore targets. These silver beauties with black spots run 14-24 inches on average, though we see plenty pushing 5+ pounds. You'll find them cruising grass flats and shallow bays, especially around oyster reefs and drop-offs. They love structure and moving water. Spring through fall are prime time, but winter can produce big schools in deeper holes. What makes them special? They hit hard, fight smart, and taste even better - mild, flaky white meat that's perfect for the dinner table. My tip: work a soft plastic shrimp slow along the bottom grass edges during moving tides. They can't resist that presentation, and you'll feel that distinctive head-shake when they take it.
