St Bernard Fishing Charters offers memorable New Orleans fishing trips led by Captain Ed Williams, who has fished these St. Bernard Parish waters with his father since childhood and has held a Master’s Captain License for more than 10 years. Beyond guiding, Captain Ed serves as the Shell Beach captain of TowBoat US, giving him deep, hands-on knowledge of the area’s intricate system of bays, bayous, and canals, including firsthand experience of how hurricanes and erosion have reshaped the landscape over the years.
Trips run aboard a 25-foot ShearWater bay boat with a 300 HP outboard, one of the largest and fastest boats in its class, equipped with a trolling motor, power pole, VHF radio, stereo, and radar, USCG rated for up to 9 people, with easy access into shallow ponds for chasing reds or handling rougher seas out to Breton Sound. The team has grown to include several of the area’s best captains, all running similarly sized boats with 300-350 HP motors.
Captain Ed also brings more than 12 years of hospitality industry management experience in hotels and restaurants, plus an MBA with a concentration in Tourism, translating into genuinely high customer service standards. He’s willing to go the extra mile to customize any trip, including arranging transportation, lodging, flexible hours, or accommodations for guests with special needs.
Open daily 5am-9pm, and proud to hold TripAdvisor recognition.
