Member since May 2014 Barataria, United States

Background: Born and raised on the Bayous of Lafitte (Barataria Basin). There is no greater way of life or joy than to share our heritage with those visiting New Orleans. I love to see the light in people's eyes as they land their catch - whether it is their 1st or 100th fish, it is always a pleasure to share a bit of the Bayou with others. I own and operate Big Dog Fishing Charters and have a team of Captains waiting to show you a great time!
Techniques: Fishing style and technique varies depending on conditions and also client's abilities. From throwing Shrimp to Artificial / Sight Casting to dropping a line we do it all!

Capt Chad gave every effort to find fish, however the elements were not good. Wind speed and direction along with water clarity worked against us all day. I don’t think other boats did much better that day.

The fish just weren’t jumping in the ice chest. But Josh worked super hard to help us put some fish in the box. At the end of the day we had half of our limits of reds. Not bad for how hard we had to work. And we missed several nice, nice reds. Thanks Josh for a very nice day on the water…even the weather cooperated.
