We're talking redfish, speckled trout, black drum, and more – all waiting for you in the calm morning waters. Grab a buddy, gear up (we've got you covered), and let's make some memories on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising out as the sun's just peeking over the horizon, the air's crisp, and the water's like glass. That's how we start our mornings here in St. Bernard. This 4-hour trip is perfect for two anglers, but hey, if you've got more folks wanting in on the action, we can make it happen for an extra $100 per person. Captain Shawn's all about tailoring the experience to you – whether you're looking to learn the ropes or test your skills against some of the Gulf's finest inshore species. We'll hit the honey holes where the fish are biting, and you'll be in for a shot at landing some real beauties.

Rods, Reels, and Redfish

Forget lugging your tackle box – we've got all the gear you need right here on the boat. We're talking top-notch rods and reels, live bait that the locals swear by, and all the little extras that make for a smooth day of fishing. Captain Shawn's a pro at reading the water, so we'll be using techniques that match the conditions. Could be some light tackle action for specks, or maybe we'll be sight-casting to tailing reds in the shallows. Either way, you're in for some hands-on action that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. And don't worry if you're new to this – we'll walk you through every cast and retrieve until you're reeling 'em in like a pro.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Let's talk fish, folks. St. Bernard's waters are teeming with some real crowd-pleasers. First up, we've got redfish – these copper-colored bruisers are a local favorite. They'll test your drag and your nerves, especially when they're tailing in the shallows. Redfish are here year-round, but fall's when they really show up in force. Then there's speckled trout – these spotted speedsters are a blast on light tackle. They're most active in the cooler months, and they've got a knack for explosive topwater strikes that'll get your heart racing. Don't forget about black drum – these big boys can push 30 pounds or more. They're not the prettiest fish in the sea, but man, can they pull. Spring and fall are prime time for drum, and they love hanging around structure.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing these waters that keeps folks coming back for more. Maybe it's the way the marsh grasses rustle in the breeze, or how you can spot a redfish tail from 50 yards out if you know what to look for. Could be the thrill of battling a big black drum as it tries to wrap you around a piling. Or maybe it's just the simple pleasure of being out on the water, away from the hustle and bustle, with nothing but the sound of your line zipping through the guides. Whatever it is, Captain Shawn's got a knack for making sure every trip is one for the books. And let's be real – there's nothing quite like the taste of fresh-caught fish for dinner. (Just saying, you might want to bring a cooler.)

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, let's cut to the chase – if you're itching to get out on the water and tangle with some of St. Bernard's finest finned residents, it's time to lock in your trip. This 4-hour morning adventure with SaltyFrog Charters is the perfect way to scratch that fishing itch without eating up your whole day.
