About Your Trip

Hop on board with Captain Joe for an action-packed day of inshore fishing! Saint Bernard is home to plenty of fish-filled canals and bays that are great spots for catching some tasty Gulf Coast fish without venturing too far from the dock.

On this 6-hour trip, Captain Joe will cruise you through some of these productive inshore waters where you'll be primarily targeting Redfish and Speckled Trout. Venturing a bit into the nearshore waters will give you opportunities to reel in some Black Drum, Flounder, Sheepshead and more. All you need to use for these fish is classic light tackle. This trip is great for beginners, and experienced anglers are also sure to benefit from some of Captain Joe's expert tips and knowledge of the water!

Captain Joe fishes aboard a 24’ Blue Wave center console with a capacity for 5 people. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, this vessel will have no problem getting you to hard to reach spots in the inshores! She comes complete with all the necessities including GPS, Fishfinder and a Live Bait Well. Captain Joe will even clean any keepers for you to take home!

Captain Joe will provide all rods, reels, and tackle. All you need to bring is any food or drinks you might want, and feel free to bring any of your own lures. Book your trip today and get ready for a productive day on the Gulf Coast!

About Your Guide

Captain Joe is a seasoned fishing guide with years of experience catching Redfish and Speckled Trout across the South Louisiana waters.

From Breton Sound to Lake Borgne, Lake Pontchartrain to the Biloxi Marsh, if you can find it on a map in Southern Louisiana and it looks like it's got Redfish, then Captain Joe can take you fishing there. Meet up in Shell Beach or Slidell, Louisiana and get out there for some year-round action.

Captain Joe is a patient and knowledgeable fishing guide who loves showing beginners and experts the bayous, bays, and backwaters of Southern Louisiana.

Fish for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, Sheepshead and more aboard Captain Joe's 2016 24’ Blue Wave center console that fishes 5 guests comfortably. Powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine with a maximum cruising speed of 60 knots, this boat gets you there fast and dry. The vessel features life jackets for safety, a live well for bait, and a GPS for finding fish.

Captain Joe normally fishes light tackle utilizing popping corks, bottom fishing, jigging, and sometimes trolling.

Captain Joe will provide you with rods, reels, and tackle, and live bait. You're encouraged to bring an ice chest, a hat, and polarized sunglasses, and please don't forget to purchase your Louisiana saltwater fishing licenses online.

Captain Joe will also have light snacks and drinks on board, and will clean and fillet your catch. As Captain Joe likes to say, "You Got To Hook Dat To Cook Dat”!
