What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Barataria, Louisiana for the first time?

To be very patient and hopefully the conditions are right the fish are more active and that they are less territorial predators out there scaring them off. Other than that it's a great experience it's not my first time it won't be my last time

You never know what is on your hook. We caught just about everything in the water. Redfish, Black drum, sheepshead, freshwater catfish, NOT ONE HARDHEAD! A Stingray It was a wonderful experience Thanks Captain Chad. Cannot recommend higher.

If it is spring, bring a hoodie or jacket, it gets rather cool going across the water. Sun glasses are also a must.

Boat was top notch. Captain Josh was a fish whisperer. Knew exactly where they were and how to get them on a hook.

Bring sunscreen and bugspray, accents, sunshine, and mosquitoes are big in New Orleans!

May/June and Sept/Oct are better times to fish, but we did ok for such a cold and windy day

Expect lots of little saltwater catfish to steal your bait. We moved a bit then got our max of redfish within an hour - all 8-15 lbs with frozen shrimp bait.
