Bountiful St. Bernard Inshore Fishing with Capt. Chad St. Pe of Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters

A Few Things About Me

I’m Captain Chad St. Pe of Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters, your Louisiana fishing charter master guide. We fish out of the beautiful community of St. Bernard, just minutes away from downtown New Orleans. Out here, we’re surrounded by the bountiful waters of the Gulf of Mexico, so there’s plenty for us anglers to explore. Just look at my Facebook page, and you’ll see what we’re regularly up to in fishing in this part of the state.

I have three decades of fishing experience under my belt. Rest assured that you’ll be in capable hands when you book your charter fishing trips in Louisiana with me. I’m not selfish with my expertise and knowledge about the area. I’ll teach you as much as possible while you’re a guest on my boat so you can fill your bucket. Plus, I’ll take you to the perfect fishing spot, wherever it is in the vicinity.

I enjoy hosting anglers of all levels on guided fishing trips in Louisiana. I especially love to have novice anglers and children onboard as I enjoy teaching. That’s why I became a guide. It’s the best way to combine my passions: fishing and teaching. I’m incredibly patient, so there is no need to feel embarrassed or anxious about your lack of expertise when you book a fishing tour with me. I promise you — you’ll become a better angler after a fishing trip with me.

Places I Like To Go to Often

I can’t play favorites when it comes to my top fishing spots here in Louisiana. I must say, Louisiana inshore fishing charters like ours are spoiled for choice. Having access to the Gulf Coast is one of our many blessings in this location. Louisiana fishing is a must-experience for any angler, with a coastline of over a thousand miles and a beautiful mix of marshes, barrier islands, and beaches. 

Based here in St. Bernard, I can fish top spots like Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix. We fish the incredible waters of Breton Sound and Biloxi Marsh from these historic fishing communities. Aside from the fisheries in this part of the Gulf Coast, these areas are rich in wildlife.

My Charter’s  Target Fish Species and Techniques

With Cajun Outcast Inshore Charters, expect to catch some Louisiana saltwater and freshwater favorites. We mainly target redfish or red drum, speckled trout or sea trout, sheepshead, black drum, and southern flounder. I’m partial to targeting speckled trout and redfish as an angler, but I can help you catch other fish species we can find. I’m a numbers kind of guide, so if you’re looking to fill your bucket, I’m your guy.

I like to fish with a popping cork because you can fish with it all year round. I would argue that it’s the best for targeting my favorite speckled trout and redfish. Aside from the popping cork tactic, I also enjoy fishing with a Carolina rig. 

As your master guide, I won’t limit you to my favorite techniques and methods. I’ll be more than willing to help you combine several techniques to ensure you’ll meet your target catch. Bottom fishing, cork, trolling, jigging, and spinning — we’ll try them all to see which reels are in the most numbers. My top priority is to help you enjoy fishing. But if you want to learn my fishing tactics and strategies, just let me know, and I’ll give you pointers!

Why Book Your Fishing Trip With Me

You won’t need to worry about a thing when you book your Louisiana fishing tours with me. As a guide and an angler with decades of experience, I’m committed to providing all my guests with the time of their lives. That includes prioritizing your safety and comfort above all else. 

When you book a trip with me, I’ll take you on board my 23’ Key West Bayreef. It’s powered by a 300 HP Suzuki 4-stroke engine and can accommodate up to 5 guests. Take your kids and family along! My charter fishing boat is equipped with technologies to help us fish more productively and safely — we have a GPS, a fish finder, a fighting chair, a wireless trolling motor, and a Livewell. We also have an ice box to keep your catch fresh for table fare.

Our fishing charter offers 7-hour weekend trips. If you want to book additional hours, let me know! My fishing trip rates are based on the guest number. We have trips for 1 to 4 guests and five guests. We have our fishing gear on board that you can use, so you don’t need to bring your fishing rod and reel. However, if you’re eager to use your equipment, you’re free to carry them for the ride.

We provide you with everything else you need for fishing when you book a trip with us. Just bring your snacks and beverages on board. We’ll be out in the water for 7 hours, so you’ll need some refreshments. You’ll need some outdoor protection, too. A protective hat, a pair of UV sunglasses, SPF 50, and bug spray should do. Don’t forget to bring your fishing license! Here in Louisiana, you’re required to get a basic fishing license. If you’re targeting saltwater fish species beyond the designated line, you’ll also need an additional saltwater fishing license. My advice is to consult the official Louisana State Department of Wildlife and Fisheries website so you’ll be sure which type of license to bring.

If you have more questions or concerns about fishing in this part of Louisiana, feel free to contact me. You can visit our website for a real-time fishing report, information about our trips and targets, and more. I share plenty of fishing adventures on my Facebook, so follow me if you want to know more.
