September 21, 2026Captain Brad was very professional and friendly. His expert knowledge of the Rigolets and Lake Ponchartrain was evident at the first stop where he guided us to a swarm of redfish, black drum and sheepshead. We limited out early after only a few moves and then targeted specs and flounders at a few more locations. Overall this trip was a success and memorable.

November 18, 2025While Speck Dat Charters yielded the most fish I have ever caught, long before the bite began, my wife and I knew we were in for a treat. From the moment we arrived, Captain Brad was the paragon of southern hospitality. The boat was already pristine clean, stocked, and ready when we pulled up. The excitement built as we were treated to a brisk and scenic cruise traversing portions of Lake Catherine, Lake Pontchartrain, Chef Pass, and Lake Borgne. Brad worked smart and hard until he located the perfect spot for us to haul in speckled trout, white trout, redfish, black drum, and more. Meanwhile, our captain continued tirelessly to adjust our position and re-bait our hooks to keep things moving and keep the excitement high. A consummate host and great conversationalist, he provided a trove of information on species, geographic points of interest, and other nuances of the experience to keep things exciting and enriching, yet chill and relaxed. Look no further for your next charter adventure. Captain Brad and his hand-crafted operation have that attention to customer service that'll have you telling all your friends and wanting to keep coming back.

October 8, 2025I've lost track of how many times I've used Capt Brad - he never disappoints. We always come home with a full cooler and good memories. Probably the best compliment is that every time I bring someone new with me, they tell me that they're going to book him again. There's a reason his calendar is full!
