You'll be fishing aboard a top-notch vessel that can accommodate up to three anglers comfortably.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

On this trip, we're pulling out all the stops. We'll be using advanced techniques that separate the pros from the weekend warriors. Expect to do some sight-casting in the shallows for tailing Redfish, working topwater lures for aggressive Sea Trout, and finessing soft plastics for those finicky Flounder. We might even break out the fly rods if conditions are right. You'll need to be on your toes, ready to switch tactics at a moment's notice. The name of the game is adapting to what the fish want, and that's where your experience comes into play. We'll be reading the water, looking for signs of bait, and using every trick in the book to put you on the fish. It's not just about catching – it's about catching smart.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish: These copper-colored bruisers are the crown jewels of Louisiana inshore fishing. Known for their powerful runs and distinctive spot near the tail, Redfish can grow to over 40 inches in these waters. They love to cruise the shallow flats and marshes, often revealing their location with their signature "tailing" behavior. The thrill of sight-casting to a big Red in skinny water is hard to beat.

Black Drum: Often overlooked by casual anglers, Black Drum are a favorite among seasoned pros. These heavyweight contenders can tip the scales at over 50 pounds in St. Bernard's waters. They're bottom feeders with a soft spot for crustaceans, making them a perfect target for those who enjoy the finesse of bait fishing. The larger specimens, known as "big uglies," will give you a workout you won't soon forget.

Sea Trout: Also known as Speckled Trout, these spotted speedsters are a staple of inshore fishing in Louisiana. They're aggressive feeders that often hunt in schools, making for fast and furious action when you find them. Sea Trout are known for their delicate mouth, requiring a deft touch with the hook set. Their acrobatic leaps and zigzag runs make them a blast to catch on light tackle.

Sheepshead: Don't let their stripes fool you – these aren't your average convict fish. Sheepshead in St. Bernard can grow to impressive sizes, and they're notorious bait stealers. With their human-like teeth, they're experts at picking baits clean without getting hooked. Landing a big Sheepshead is a true test of an angler's patience and skill, making them a favorite target for those who love a challenge.

Summer Flounder: These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in perfectly with the sandy or muddy bottom. Catching Summer Flounder requires a delicate touch and keen eye to detect their subtle bites. They're ambush predators, often lying in wait near structure or drop-offs. The satisfaction of outsmarting these crafty fish is hard to match, and their sweet, white flesh makes them a prized catch for the dinner table.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

St. Bernard's waters are a fisherman's paradise, plain and simple. The mix of marshes, bayous, and open water creates a diverse ecosystem that supports a thriving fishery. You've got the chance to tangle with multiple species in a single day, each presenting its own unique challenge. The area's relatively light fishing pressure means you're often casting to fish that haven't seen every lure in the book. And let's not forget the backdrop – the natural beauty of coastal Louisiana is something to behold. Whether you're watching the sun rise over the marsh or spotting wildlife between casts, it's an experience that goes beyond just catching fish. It's about connecting with nature in a way that only serious anglers can truly appreciate.
