Reel in the Big One: NOLA Fishing Adventure
Hey there, anglers! Ready to wet a line in some of Louisiana's most fish-packed waters? Grab your hat and sunscreen, 'cause we're heading out for a day of non-stop action with Serigne's Fishing Charters. This 7-hour trip takes you straight to the honey holes of St. Bernard and the inshore Gulf, where the fish are always biting and the stories get bigger with every cast.
What's the Deal?
Picture this: You're cruising out of New Orleans, leaving the jazz and beignets behind for a day of pure fishing bliss. We're talking about hitting up the rich waters of St. Bernard Parish and skirting the edges of the Gulf of Mexico. It's the kind of spot where even rookie anglers can land a whopper, and the pros? Well, they might just need a bigger boat. We've got all the gear you need - rods, reels, bait, and even your fishing license. Just bring your game face, some grub, and whatever you want to sip on while you're reeling 'em in.
Fishing 101: NOLA Style
Alright, let's talk shop. We're not just tossing lines in the water and hoping for the best. Our guides know these waters like the back of their hand, and they're itching to share their secrets. We'll be using a mix of techniques - maybe some drift fishing over the oyster beds for those tasty sheepshead, or sight casting for bull reds in the shallows. Expect to work with light tackle that'll give you a real fight when you hook into something big. And trust me, in these waters, "big" is the norm. We might even break out some popping corks if the trout are schooling up. It's all about reading the water, feeling the bite, and knowing when to set that hook.
Top Catches This Season
Let me tell you, the fishing here is hotter than a Louisiana summer. We've been pulling in monster redfish that'll make your arms ache, and sheepshead so big you'd swear they were wearing pinstripes. The black drum have been showing up in force too, and let me tell you, when one of those big uglies takes your bait, you better hold on tight. And don't even get me started on the speckled trout - they've been practically jumping in the boat!
Species You'll Want to Hook
Black Drum: These bruisers are the heavyweights of the inshore scene. They love to hang around structure, so we'll be targeting pier pilings and oyster reefs. The big ones can top 30 pounds, and they put up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. Best part? They're delicious on the grill.
Sheepshead: Don't let those chompers fool you - sheepshead are more than just a pretty face. These crafty fish are masters at stealing bait, but when you hook one, it's game on. They're abundant around structure and put up a scrappy fight. Plus, they're some of the best eating fish in the Gulf.
Sea Trout: Also known as speckled trout, these guys are the bread and butter of inshore fishing. They school up and when you find them, it's non-stop action. Light tackle specialists love the way they hit topwater lures, and there's nothing like a fresh trout on the dinner table.
Redfish: The crown jewel of Louisiana fishing. These copper-colored beauties can be found tailing in the shallows or busting bait in the deeper channels. When a big bull red takes off, you better have your drag set right, or you'll be watching your line disappear. They're catch-and-release for the big ones, but the slot-sized fish make for some mighty fine blackened redfish.
Time to Book Your Spot
Listen, I could go on all day about the fish we're catching and the good times we're having out here, but why don't you come see for yourself? Whether you're looking to bend a rod for the first time or you're a seasoned pro chasing that personal best, we've got the trip for you. The fish are biting, the weather's perfect, and we've got a spot on the boat with your name on it. So what do you say? Ready to make some memories and maybe catch dinner while you're at it? Give Serigne's Fishing Charters a call and let's get you out on the water. Trust me, once you fish these waters, you'll be hooked for life!
Learn more about the species
Black Drum
Redfish are a local favorite here in New Orleans. These copper-colored beauties typically run 20-30 inches and love hanging around shallow flats, oyster reefs, and marshy areas. You'll often spot their tails sticking up as they root for crabs and shrimp in just a foot or two of water. Fall and winter are prime seasons when big schools move into the bays. Redfish put up an awesome fight - they'll take off on long runs and really test your drag. Their mild, flaky white meat is delicious too. For the best shot at landing one, try sight-casting with gold spoons or soft plastics. If you see a tail, cast beyond it and slowly retrieve across its path. Just be ready when that line goes tight!
Redfish
Sea Trout
Sea trout, or speckled trout as we call 'em, are a staple around here. Most run 1-3 pounds, but gator trout over 5 pounds aren't uncommon. You'll find them in grass flats, channels, and around oyster reefs. They really turn on during fall and spring when the water temps are mild. Sea trout are known for their soft mouths, so a gentle hookset is key. They put up a decent fight with some quick runs and head shakes. The meat is mild and flaky - perfect for a fish fry. To up your chances, try soft plastic jigs or live shrimp under a popping cork. Work it with some twitches and pops - that noise drives trout crazy. Just be ready for some fast action when a school moves through!
Sheepshead
Sheepshead are an oddball fish with a mouthful of human-like teeth perfect for crushing crabs and barnacles. Most run 2-5 pounds but can reach up to 15. You'll find them around docks, pilings, and reefs where they love munching on crustaceans. Spring is prime time as they move inshore to spawn. Sheepshead are notorious bait stealers, so you've gotta be quick on the hookset. They're a blast to catch - strong fighters for their size. The meat is excellent too, with sweet white fillets. Here's a local trick: use a small, sharp hook with fiddler crab and fish it right up against pilings. When you feel that telltale tap-tap, set the hook fast and hang on!
