We chartered a boat with Chad for my mom’s birthday, and when I tell you this experience was AMAZINGGGG!! 🙌🏽 We ended up catching the BIGGEST STRIPED BASS 🐟🎣 seriously, the fish was HUGE! We released it back into the water, but just getting the chance to catch something like that was an experience we will NEVER forget. Chad was cool asf 😂, down-to-earth, knowledgeable, patient, and made sure we had a great time from beginning to end. The whole vibe was perfect, and it made my mom’s birthday even more special. ❤️🎂 The fishing, the laughs, being out on the water, and then landing that MONSTER bass?! 🔥🔥🔥 You couldn’t ask for a better trip! If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, BOOK WITH CHAD! You will not be disappointed. We had an absolute blast and would definitely do it again. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 🎣🐟🚤🔥
Yolanda, you and your family were cool AF! 😂🔥 I had just as much fun with you guys, and I’m so glad I got to be part of making your mom’s birthday one to remember! That striped bass was an absolute MONSTER—and watching you guys land it, celebrate it, and then release it was what fishing is all about. 🎣💪🏼 The laughs, the energy, and the whole vibe on the boat were perfect from beginning to end. Thank you so much for choosing BragaBoutIt Charters and for leaving such an amazing review. You guys are welcome back on my boat anytime—let’s do it again and find an even bigger one! 🙌🏼🐟
I'm glad I chose Captain Braga as our charter. He was tremendously friendly and prioritized our comfort and fishing success above all else. It was very calm waters in the morning and if course as with any fishing trip it took us a little bit of time to find the fish but once we found the general area where the stripers where he kept us on top of them the whole time. we had success on the spoons but it took us a little bit to figure out what they were biting on. afger a few hours of catching with spoons we switched to trolling with what looked like jerk baits and we started really reeling them in. I can't recommend this captain enough.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! Really appreciate the kind words. Some days it takes a little grinding to dial the bite in, but once we found them it turned into a great trip. Glad you guys had an amazing morning on the water and hope to fish with you again soon! 💪🎣
We had to reschedule our trip from June to July due to bad wheather. Chad was excellent with his communication. Our family showed up 30 minutes late due to Newport traffic and Chad was very accommodating. Our trip of 5 was amazing. We all caught striped bass, with our15 year old daughter catching the most fish during a friendly competition between her and her two older brothers. The boat was very clean and Chad made sure the rods were always baited and ready to go. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Thank you so much for the amazing review! It was a pleasure having your family aboard. I’m glad we were able to make the reschedule work and turn it into a memorable day on the water. Your daughter definitely earned those bragging rights over her brothers! 😂 Thanks again for trusting BragaBoutIt Charters, and I hope to have you all back out again soon for another great trip. Tight lines! 🎣
Great boat, great captin, no tuna but we were warned by the captain in advance that they were not biting but we stuck with it rather than going insure but still had a great day. Seen a whale and loads of dolphins. Would recommned to anyone looking for a freindly relaxed trip and a very informed and freindly captain.
It was great having you aboard!!! what a great show by the marine mammals!! save travels back to the UK.
I and two if my boys (16 & 12) had an awesome trip with Captain Chad. We caught 4 massive stripers by 7am and they kept coming all morning!
Thank you so much, Case! It was a pleasure having you and your boys aboard. I’m glad we could put them on some great stripers and make it a morning to remember. Hope to see you guys back out on the water again soon! Tight lines! 🎣
