Meet Captain Robbie Burke

Captain Robbie Burke is a dedicated full-time guide and the driving force behind RSOME Fishing Charters & Guide Service. His passion for Louisiana’s coastal waters was forged in early childhood, casting lines off local roads, piers, and shoreline banks before stepping up to navigate the intricate marshlands in his own vessel. With over a decade of professional guiding experience across Shell Beach, Hopedale, and Delacroix, Captain Robbie brings deep local knowledge, sharp observational instincts, and an authentic love for the outdoors to every journey into the marsh.

Guiding anglers through Louisiana’s fertile backwaters requires an intimate understanding of shifting tides, seasonal patterns, and fish movements—qualities Captain Robbie has refined through thousands of hours on the water. Specializing in targeting redfish, speckled trout, and sheepshead, he approaches every outing with a focus on patient instruction and clear communication. Whether guiding experienced anglers refining specialized lure presentations or helping first-time visitors reel in their very first catch, Captain Robbie adapts his teaching style to ensure everyone on board feels confident, capable, and well-supported.

Safety, preparation, and guest comfort remain Captain Robbie's top priorities from launch to dock. Beyond his navigational skills, his friendly, welcoming personality creates an easygoing environment where families, friends, and solo anglers can relax and enjoy the coastal scenery. He takes genuine pride in sharing local fishing history, explaining effective rigging methods, and helping guests build skills they can take with them long after the trip ends. For Captain Robbie, a great day on the water is about delivering an authentic, well-guided experience built on trust, safety, and a shared appreciation for the marsh.
