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, 20252 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!

Great time with Cpt. Sean.
7 Hours 3 people on June 23, 20241 adult2 children
We fished with Cpt. Sean in late June and had an excellent time. I had my two sons, 10 and 12. Sean was patient, fun, and insightful. He's a pro that I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone else. The boat is fast and clean and the gear is well-maintained. Even though we hit our limit of redfish at 9:30, we switched species and kept fishing for the full seven hours. There was a lot of value given to us. I will be a repeat customer.
