Miss Susan was great to work with. When the heavy storms went through, she was in constant contact with us to move the departure time back. All I can say about Chad is probably one of the most personable captains we have ever chartered with. Made us feel right at home and had the patience of a SAINT for our crew of 4. He kept moving to locate the fish as a huge storm went through the night before. Thank you Chad and Big Fish Charters for a great time. If we were to come back down from Michigan... More

Fishing was tough this time of year with the weather being inconsistent. Slow start but finished strong both days! Big dog charters had multiple guides. Not just one. We had Chad, my go to guy for now on. Only planned to fish one day and instead, fished 2 days. Can’t go wrong with him!

Conditions were not perfect, wind was blowing hard but we still caught a bunch of fish. Captain Mark still put us on fish despite 20 mph winds. Kids had a lot of fun.

We were a group of three, including a 12 year old boy. Captain Mike really did well at instructing and helping the boy, making sure he had a good time and caught fish. We caught a lot of fish, and the boy has great stories to share. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll ask for Captain Mike again.
