There's a fish with your name on it in St. Bernard, and Salty Frog Fishing Charters will help you catch it! Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Shawn can tell you all about the local fishery. Located near New Orleans, Louisiana.

Around here it's common to catch Black Drum, Flounder, Redfish, Speckled Trout, and more, depending on the time of year. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Capt. Shawn operates a 23' Bay boat that can carry up to 4 passengers. It has everything you need for a productive day on the water. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included.

You might need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring snacks, bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now and then, the fish might get away, but a day on the water never should. Time to make it happen with Salty Frog Fishing Charters! Can also accommodate large groups with advanced notice. Lodging available.

Great father son fishing trip - Captain Shawn Hopedale
4 hour trip on June 13, 2025 • 2 adults

Absolutely fantastic experience with Captain Shawn! My son and I went out fishing this morning, and thanks to his expertise, we limited out on speckled trout by 8:30 AM. From the moment we boarded, it was clear that Captain Shawn knows his stuff—his professionalism, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of the waters made all the difference. He also made sure we had everything we needed for a successful day. Not only did we catch our limit early, but he also shared great tips and made the whole trip enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-tier fishing guide, Captain Shawn is the one. Highly recommend!

    Had my buddy Dennis on board today. We set out with the challenge of breaking the myth that you can’t catch trout in August. Well, myth busted with ease. 30 trout hit the boat fast. Then, we played catch and release using topwater on another 30+ hammer trout. I still have some great dates left this month and I am booking for fall as well.
