Just Reel
If you're going to cast a line in St. Bernard, look no further than Just Reel. With Captain Joe at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.
These waters are home to Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Scamp Grouper, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Red Snapper, Speckled Trout, Spotted Seatrout, and more if conditions allow. You'll target your catch by spinning, popping, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Just Reel is a child-friendly charter service, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Also, remember to bring snacks!
Your fishing machine for the day is a 25' Blazer Bay boat that holds up to 6 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
You will need to purchase 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.
You can't go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Richard Fox5.0Fishing with Captain Joe
6-7Hour Trip Inshore – For 2 People on May 18, 2024This was a great experience. We had an excellent day of fishing. I thoroughly enjoyed fishing with Captain Joe we were fortunate to catch some really good Redfish. Captain Joe was a total professional and extremely friendly and helpful. He knew the area very well and put me on the fish. I would 100% recommend fishing with him and look forward to doing it again.

4 Hour Inshore Trip PM – 3 People on September 2, 2023Our family has done several trips with Captain Joe. He is easy to book with, communicates well, and makes sure we have a great time, every time. He is very knowledgeable and knows where to take us to make sure we don’t come back empty handed. The kids always have a blast and look forward to our trips. Highly recommend Captain Joe!
Greg Janzen5.0Fishing with Joe
on November 20, 2022We had a great time fishing with Joe. We fished for 5 days and weren’t disappointed at all, by the end of every day we were tired and sore from catching so many big fish. Fishing trip of a lifetime. Thanks Joe we’ll be back for sure money well spent.
