Team up with Speck Dat Charters and discover the stunning Louisiana marsh and prolific fishing it has to offer! Captain Brad D'Alfonso has over 2 decades of angling experience in the area and he's happy to share that knowledge with his customers.

Capt. Brad loves his job and it translates into the first-class service he always strives to provide to everyone fishing with him. You'll join him on his 24' Blazer Bay boat that sports a 300 HP Yamaha engine and plenty of space to accommodate up to 5 people.

The vessel is loaded with everything you need for a productive day on the water, including a live bait well, a wireless trolling motor, and quality Daiwa fishing gear. Everyone on board can fish at the same time, and there's a T-top to protect you from the unyielding Louisiana sun. All things considered, the boat is perfectly suited for the fishing conditions in the marsh.

When it comes to your catch, all the most popular saltwater species are there for the taking. All levels of anglers are welcome to hit the water with Capt. Brad, and he'll go the extra mile to put you on brag-worthy prey. Speckled Trout, Redfish, Flounder, Sheepshead, and Black Drum are the favorite local catches and your primary targets.

When you come back to land, your guide will clean and bag everything you caught for your convenience. If you need a good recipe to prepare the fruits of your hard work, Brad is your guy.

On your side, you should show up with a valid Louisiana fishing license, and a supply of drinks and food to last the trip. Kids will have a great time with Capt. Brad, just make sure that they're at least 5 years old, so that they can enjoy the experience fully.

Hop aboard Speck Dat Charters and let your memorable fishing adventure begin!

Captain Brad is the man
Late Morning Trip(8am - 2pm) on February 16, 20262 adults

First time out on the water in Louisiana and we had an absolute blast. Captain Brad was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the local area and clearly very passionate about what he does. We caught a variety of species, including a really nice redfish. Captain Brad cleaned all our fish for us and was an absolute pleasure to be around. He was very professional and did his best to put us on the fish at all times. I learned a lot out there and can’t wait to come back.

Great Birthday!
Full Day Trip (6am - 2pm) on February 2, 20261 adult

Captain Brad is the man! I came from out of town during a historic chill, very low temps and very low water level. Captain Brad was very flexible and woke up extra early to make sure it was safe to go out on the boat. It felt like a gamble, but it paid off! We found lots of red fish and had a great full day catching and chatting. Brad taught me a lot about how the tides work and what to look for. Patient and friendly, I highly recommend Captain Brad for your NOLA fishing trip!

Reported catch:
Redfish

Response from Captain

Pete thank you for the awesome review and great write up!! I appreciate the acknowledgement on the gamble because it sure was with the crazy low water levels, but you stuck with me and nailed them(Mother Nature knew it was your birthday) LOL!! I enjoyed having you aboard as well and you were a great fisherman, pulling some awesome red fish over the rails!! It would definitely be a pleasure to have you on board again and I appreciate the recommendation and look forward to our next trip!! Until the next time, thank you again and tight lines!! - Capt. Brad D'Alfonso

Fun day of trying a new way to fish
Full Day Trip (6am - 2pm) on April 28, 20261 adult

I had a fun/chill day with Captain Brad. I like fly fishing, so this was a new experience for me and I had a blast. Learned some new techniques and caught species of fish I haven't before. Captain Brad drove all over to get me on fish. PSA don't be stupid like me and not wear sunscreen!

Response from Captain

Matt, thank you for the awesome review!! I'm glad you were able to try a different style of fishing and have a great time doing it. You are a great angler, stayed after them all day, and it paid off with some new species and a fun trip all around. Really appreciate you making the trip with me, and yes - sunscreen is definitely a must out there!! Hope to have you back out there again, until the next time thank you again and tight lines!! - Capt. Brad D.

Captain Brad's love for fishing grew onto his own children and watching their eagerness and excitement, he decided to start guiding to share and teach others about the beautiful Louisiana fishing estuaries.
