Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Brad consistently delivers exceptional multi-species fishing trips, with customers regularly catching redfish, speckled trout, flounder, sheepshead, catfish, and largemouth bass. His deep knowledge of Lake Pontchartrain's tidal patterns and fish behavior helps anglers land impressive catches even in challenging weather conditions. Many report going through 300+ shrimp and filling coolers with fillets, including memorable catches like 15-pound flathead catfish and bull sharks. Brad excels at creating memorable experiences for families and beginners, patiently teaching kids proper casting techniques and letting them participate in baiting and fish cleaning. His proactive communication, top-notch equipment, and full-service approach means he handles everything from fresh bait changes to final filleting and bagging. Repeat customers consistently book multiple trips and bring new friends who immediately schedule their own charters.

We fish a lot, and capt Brad is an excellent guide. Conditions were tough, but he kept running and gunning, and we ended up with a boat full of fish. Great day, can’t say enough about Speckdat Charters!

I can’t say enough about Captain Brad. Coming from Saskatchewan the weather was much better than we were used to so the cold and wind didn’t bother us at all. The cold front made him work, but he put us on fish at every stop. The variety of fish we were able to get was amazing to us, something much different than we are used to in our lakes. Thanks again for the trip, if we ever get back here again I’ll be giving him a call.

While 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.
