We caught the big one

Full Day Trip (6am - 2pm)2 adults

We scheduled our trip in September and at 6 am we were underway with lines in the water by 6:20 and fish on by 6:30. We booked a full day and captain Brad knows all the fishing holes as we caught over 30 fish out of the 4 different spots he took us to. The variety way many from speckled trout to black drum, cats and the Red Bull you see in my picture. Also hooked a dancing lady fish which are known for spitting the hook and she did just that but it was very cool, watching her jump out of the water four to five times. The captain was very cool, knowledgeable about the lakes we were fishing and the species we caught. I would recommend him to all anglers.

    Captain Brad is the man

    Late Morning Trip(8am - 2pm) • 2 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) • 1 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!

    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) • 1 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!

    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.
