Hey there, fellow angler! Ready to get your line wet in some of Louisiana's most fish-packed waters? Ron Ron Fishing Charters has got you covered with our 6-hour private fishing trip right here in beautiful Barataria. We're talking about a day full of rod-bending action, where you'll be going toe-to-fin with hard-fighting redfish, crafty sheepshead, and more. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, this trip's gonna be a blast. We've got all the gear you need, so just bring yourself and get ready to make some serious fishing memories!
Alright, let's break it down for ya. We'll be hitting the sweet spots around Barataria, where the fish are always biting. You and a buddy will hop aboard our fully-rigged fishing machine, and we'll cruise out to where the action is. Our local know-how means we'll put you right on top of the fish – we're talking redfish, sheepshead, trout, and flounder. The best part? We've got room for two, so you can bring your fishing partner in crime for a day of friendly competition and shared excitement. And don't sweat the small stuff – we've got top-notch gear that'll have you fishing like a pro in no time.
Listen up, 'cause here's where the magic happens. We'll be using a mix of techniques to target different species. For those bull reds, we might be chunking bait near structure or sight-casting in the shallows. Trout? Get ready for some finesse fishing with soft plastics or live shrimp under a popping cork. And for those sheepshead – man, those things can be tricky – we'll show you how to detect their subtle bites using light tackle and small hooks. We'll adjust our approach based on what's biting and where they're hanging out. It's all about reading the water and staying on the fish, and that's exactly what we do best.
Let's talk fish, shall we? First up, we've got the mighty redfish. These copper-colored bruisers can grow over 40 inches and put up a fight that'll have your arms burning. They love to hang around structure and will hit just about anything that looks like food. Spring and fall are prime time for reds, but we catch 'em year-round.
Next, there's the speckled trout – or sea trout, as some folks call 'em. These guys are the bread and butter of Louisiana fishing. They're known for their spotted sides and their tasty fillets. Trout fishing heats up in the warmer months, and they're suckers for live bait or a well-presented lure.
Don't forget about sheepshead – those striped convicts of the sea. They've got a face only a mother could love, with teeth that look like they belong in a dentist's office. These guys are notorious bait stealers, but when you hook one, you're in for a treat. They're at their best in the cooler months, hanging around pilings and oyster reefs.
Black drum might not be the prettiest fish in the sea, but boy, can they pull! These cousins of the redfish can grow to monster sizes, and the smaller ones are excellent eating. They love crustaceans, so crab and shrimp are top baits.
Last but not least, we've got the southern flounder. These flatfish are masters of camouflage, blending in with the bottom until they ambush their prey. Flounder fishing picks up in the fall when they start moving to deeper waters. They're not the hardest fighters, but they're some of the best-tasting fish you'll ever put on your plate.
Look, I could go on and on about why fishing with us is the cat's meow, but let's keep it real. Our customers come back because we put them on fish, plain and simple.

Black Drum are the heavyweight champs of the drum family, packing a punch with their powerful jaws and teeth. These big boys typically range from 5-30 pounds but can top out at a whopping 90 pounds. You'll find them hanging around oyster beds, mudflats, and other structures in brackish waters and estuaries. Spring is prime time for Black Drum fishing, as they school up to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of landing these bruisers, known for their strong fights and distinctive drumming sounds. Their meat is best when they're under 15 pounds - the bigger ones get tough and less tasty. For the best shot at hooking one, use fresh crab or shrimp on the bottom. Here's a local tip: try fishing near freshwater creek openings on a falling tide. The Drum often gather there to ambush bait being swept out.
Redfish, or Red Drum, are the shallow water superstars of Louisiana's marshes. These copper-colored bruisers, famous for their distinctive tail spot, typically run 28-33 inches but can grow much larger. You'll find them tailing in water so shallow their backs sometimes break the surface, especially around oyster reefs and mud flats. Fall is prime time as they school up to spawn. Anglers love Redfish for their powerful fights and excellent table fare. To hook one, try sight-casting with topwater lures or weedless jigs in skinny water. Here's a local tip: on hot days, look for them in the shade of marsh grass or near creek mouths. And when you see that tail waving in the air, make a gentle cast beyond it and work your lure right into their path. Just be ready for an explosive strike!
Sea Trout, also called Speckled Trout, are a favorite among anglers for their sporty fight and tasty flesh. These silvery, spotted beauties typically run 14-24 inches long and love to hang out in grass flats and shallow waters. They're most active at night, especially during warmer months. Trout are known for their delicate, flaky meat and put up a good scrap when hooked. To catch 'em, try working artificial lures like jerk baits or topwater plugs over grass flats. In winter, look for them schooling up in deeper channels. Here's a local trick: on calm mornings, listen for their distinctive "popping" sound as they feed on the surface. That's your cue to cast nearby. Remember, Sea Trout have soft mouths, so go easy on the hook set to avoid tearing the hook out.
Sheepshead, or convict fish, are the thieves of the sea with their human-like teeth and sneaky bait-stealing skills. These striped beauties usually weigh 1-8 pounds and hang out around any structure with barnacles - docks, bridges, and reefs are prime spots. Spring is the best time to target them as they gather to spawn. Anglers love the challenge of outsmarting these crafty fish, known for their light bites and strong fights. Plus, their sweet, white meat makes great table fare. To catch 'em, you've got to think like 'em. Use small hooks baited with fiddler crabs or shrimp, and fish as close to the structure as you can without snagging. Here's a pro tip: when you feel that nibble, wait a second before setting the hook. Sheepshead are pros at stripping bait, so give 'em time to get the hook in their mouth.
Southern Flounder are masters of camouflage, with both eyes on their left side and the ability to change color to match their surroundings. They typically range from 15-18 inches long but can grow up to 33 inches. You'll find them lurking on sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. These ambush predators are most active in fall as they move offshore to spawn. Anglers love targeting flounder for their delicate, white meat and the challenge of hooking them. They have a reputation as bait stealers, so a quick hookset is key. For best results, try drifting or still fishing near structure using live bait like bull minnows or mullet on a single-hook rig. Keep your bait close to the bottom and be ready - when you feel that tell-tale tap, set the hook fast before they spit it out!
