Captain Jason Shilling
“Captain Jason and New Orleans Style Fishing Charters are amazing! We highly recommend going out with him if you are interested in catching a ton of fish and having a blast doing it! He not only took us to great spots so we could try to catch a lot of fish, but he took his time assisting our daughter as she reeled up her catches too!”
“My son and I had a great time with Capt. Jason. Our trip was very successful. Staying in the rental was a huge plus. Everything we needed was right there and allowed us to expand our catch of many different “species”. Thank you for making our stay a very memorable one.”
“Jason was great. I’d highly recommend him to anyone who wants to do some fishing while in the New Orleans area. We managed to catch our limit of speckled trout and also got into some red fish and drum. Jason is a knowledgeable and experienced guide who meets you where you no matter if you’re a seasoned veteran or a beginner.”
“Great time, great experience for me and my 14 year old. Its an active-style of fishing which is our preference (lots of casting). We caught plenty of fish including some monster red fish which my son still talks about. Captain Jason is great company and communicates well. It was my first time seeing dolphins and gators near my fishing boat (we’re from the midwest).”
Our Louisiana Fishing Charters
I’m Captain Jason Shilling owner and fishing guide of New Orleans Style Fishing Charters for red fish and speckle trout. I fish the back water marsh, lakes, bays, and bayous of Lafitte, Louisiana. Located just 40 mins south of New Orleans, Lafitte is home to some of the finest inshore fishing the New Orleans area has to offer. Catching the hard fighting red fish and the paper mouth speckle trout daily, as well as a variety of other species of fish such as black drum, flounder, and sheepshead.
My fishing trips are private charters for anglers of all skill levels of fishing. So if you’re an experienced angler or a family of first time fishermen, I will cater to everyone and have y’all reeling in fish in no time.
Our trips begin at safe light from Joe’s Landing and run 5 hours. A $20 fishing license is required for anyone 18 years old or older. This license can be obtained easily in advance by phone or online.

Common New Orleans Fishing Questions
How Long Are the Charters?
Most of our charter fishing trips take around 5 hours.
What Should I Bring on the Trip?
Dress accordingly for the weather and don’t forget your fishing license, sunglasses, sun block, and any food, snacks or beverages you may want. You’ll also want a cooler to transport your fish after we filet them if you decide to keep fish from your trip.
Do We Have to Keep the Fish We Catch?
It is your choice to keep fish or release the fish.
Where Do We Fish?
We fish the back water marsh, lakes, bays and bayous in and around the Lafitte, Barataria estuary. In most cases, we’re fishing in less than 5’ of water.

Around 20 miles, which is about a 45 min drive. If you need transportation, we work closely with Gone Fishing Transportation who gives my customers a great rate. Give Tony at Gone Fishing Transportation a call at (504) 913-4638 and tell him Captain Jason sent you.
