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!

Chad was great. I don’t have a lot of patients fishing so he would get one on the hook and let me real her in, left handed real and all. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We will be back. Thanks.

Thank you for booking with Us Mr. Bill. Captain reported what a tough afternoon it was. I am so sorry to hear this as the trips on Saturday were great but we had a small front move through and many factors affect the fish biting. Thank you again and I hope yall enjoyed your time on the water despite the tough Afternoon trip. Susan Big Dog Fishing Charters
