The Redfish Charter Company offers world-class, customized fishing charters for bull redfish and speckled trout in Cocodrie, Louisiana, just an hour south of New Orleans, led by Captain Damien Melancon, a USCG Master 50 Ton captain who has guided bull redfish and spotted sea trout charters along the Louisiana coast since 1993 — more than 25 years of experience.
Louisiana boasts the largest fishery in the United States, and the coastal islands of South Louisiana offer some of the best fishing anywhere for bull redfish and spotted sea trout. Trips visit areas south of New Orleans including Cocodrie, Dularge, Dulac, and Chauvin, with the biggest limits on the Gulf Coast for Redfish, Trout, Sheepshead, and Flounder. Fly fishing trips are also available on request.
Trips run 6-7 hours along the Louisiana coast, priced by group size: $800 for 1-2 people, $850 for 3, $900 for 4, $950 for 5, or $1,000 for 6. Pricing includes fuel, drinks, fresh dead shrimp or crab bait, fish cleaning, and spinning tackle, with a guarantee of no hidden costs. Bayouside lodging is available at $200/night for up to 3 guests or $300/night for up to 6, with waterfront access for groups of any size.
Trip deposits apply to the charter rate and are fully refundable for cancellations made 3 weeks ahead, or if the captain cancels due to weather. The business is backed by partners including Yeti, Simms Fishing, and Costa Del Mar, and has been featured by the Chicago Sun-Times.
