New Orleans Snapper Charters
Offshore Action. Big Bites. Book Your Red Snapper Trip Just 45 Minutes from the City.
Red snapper season is short — but if you’re here at the right time, this trip is a must.
We run offshore from Hopedale to the rigs near the Mississippi River Delta, where snapper stack up in big numbers and big size. These are longer trips with bigger rewards: hard-hitting fish, great eating, and steady action when the bite is on.
We typically run 50+ miles offshore to target red snapper, mangrove snapper, cobia, and grouper using heavy tackle and natural bait. This is a fast-paced, full-day fishing experience with a serious payoff at the end — bags of fresh filets and a cooler full of stories.
