Trip Overview

Forget about stuffy, boring grown-up fishing trips. This adventure is all about making sure the kiddos have a blast! Captain Robbie sets a relaxed pace, so there's plenty of time for learning, laughing, and most importantly - catching fish. You'll cruise through Louisiana's inshore waters, hitting up spots where the redfish and trout are biting. The boat's equipped with child-friendly gear, so even the littlest anglers can get in on the action. Between casts, there's time for boat rides, wildlife spotting, and maybe even a quick snack break. Cap'n Robbie's got a knack for keeping things fun and safe, making sure everyone from age 6 on up has the time of their life. By the end of the day, don't be surprised if your kids are begging to come back for more!

What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your typical "sit still and be quiet" fishing trip. Captain Robbie keeps things moving and grooving to hold kids' attention. You'll start off with a quick lesson on casting and reeling - it's easy-peasy with the lightweight rods and reels sized just for youngsters. Then it's time to hit some of Cap'n Robbie's secret spots where the fish are practically jumping in the boat (okay, maybe not quite, but you get the idea). He'll show the kids how to bait their hooks, set the drag, and most importantly - how to land that big one when it bites! The focus is on having fun, so if attention spans start to wander, no worries. There's always something new to see or do, from spotting dolphins to learning about the local ecosystem. And when a fish does come over the side? Get ready for some major excitement and plenty of photo ops!

Top Catches This Season

Louisiana's inshore waters are teeming with fish, but on this trip, we're zeroing in on two crowd-pleasers: redfish and speckled trout. These species are perfect for kid-friendly fishing because they're relatively easy to catch and put up just enough of a fight to get the adrenaline pumping. Redfish, with their distinctive spot near the tail, are known for their hard pulls and can range from "puppy drum" size up to bull reds. Speckled trout, on the other hand, are quick and feisty, often hitting lures with explosive strikes that'll have kids squealing with delight. Captain Robbie knows all the tricks to help young anglers connect with these fish, whether it's using live bait, soft plastics, or even topwater lures for some exciting visual action. The best part? Both these species are delicious, so if you want, you can take home dinner (cleaned and filleted by the captain, of course)!

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing with kids that keeps families coming back year after year. Maybe it's the look of pure joy on a child's face when they reel in their very first fish. Or the way they light up when Captain Robbie shares a fun fact about the local wildlife. It could be the proud moment when a young angler masters a new technique all on their own. Whatever it is, this trip has a way of creating lasting bonds and igniting a lifelong passion for the outdoors. Parents love how stress-free the whole experience is - no need to worry about gear, bait, or even where to fish. Everything's taken care of, so you can focus on making memories with your little ones. And let's be honest, even the grown-ups get a kick out of the non-stop action and beautiful Louisiana scenery!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Redfish (Red Drum): These copper-colored beauties are a staple of Louisiana inshore fishing. Redfish are known for their strong runs and stubborn fights, making them a thrill for anglers of all ages. They love to hang out near structure like oyster reefs and marsh edges, often giving themselves away with their tails sticking out of the water as they feed (we call that "tailing"). Kids get a kick out of spotting these fish before casting to them. Redfish can range from a couple of pounds up to over 40 pounds for the big bulls, but we'll be targeting the more manageable "slot-sized" fish that are perfect for young anglers. The best part? Redfish are fairly easy to catch year-round in Louisiana, so there's always a good chance of hooking up!

Speckled Trout: Also known as spotted seatrout, these fish are a favorite among local anglers for their aggressive strikes and tasty fillets. Speckled trout are usually smaller than redfish, making them ideal for kids to handle. They get their name from the black spots that cover their backs and sides, which kids love to count after a catch. These fish are known for their soft mouths, so teaching young anglers how to properly set the hook and maintain tension is part of the fun. Specks often travel in schools, so when you find one, you've usually found a bunch - perfect for keeping those rods bent and smiles wide! While they can be caught year-round, the best action is typically in the spring and fall when water temperatures are just right.
