New Orleans Style Fishing Charters offers private inshore fishing charters for Redfish and Speckled Trout out of Lafitte, Louisiana, led by Captain Jason Shilling, a local of the Lafitte/Barataria area with a lifetime of experience on these waters. Just 40 minutes south of New Orleans, Lafitte offers some of the finest inshore fishing in the area, with Black Drum, Flounder, and Sheepshead also regularly caught alongside the signature redfish and trout.

Trips run private charters for anglers of all skill levels, departing at safe light from Joe’s Landing and running 5 hours, aboard a 22-foot custom bay boat powered by a 225 HP Mercury Pro XS, accommodating up to 4 people plus the captain (larger groups welcome with advance notice, with a network of professional captains available if Captain Jason is already booked). A $20 fishing license (18+) is required and can be obtained easily in advance.

Pricing is all-inclusive (total, not per person): $500 for 1-2 people, $550 for 3, or $600 for 4, covering the boat, captain, fuel, all fishing equipment (rod, reel, bait, tackle), and cleaning/packing of the catch. A $150 deposit reserves the boat, with a 7-day cancellation notice required for a full refund. Round-trip transportation from downtown New Orleans is available through a trusted partner, Gone Fishing Transportation, and lodging/fishing packages can also be arranged.

Guest reviews are overwhelmingly glowing, with reviewers consistently praising Captain Jason’s patience with kids, beginners, and international visitors alike, describing memorable trips landing limits of speckled trout, monster redfish, and even first-time dolphin and alligator sightings for out-of-state guests.

For anglers of any experience level near New Orleans/Lafitte looking for a highly reviewed, all-inclusive inshore fishing charter, New Orleans Style Fishing Charters offers a well-established, family-friendly operation with Captain Jason Shilling.
