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.

Took my Grandsons, 12,13, & 15. This was our 4th trip with Cap’n Brad. He is so patient with the boys & they always say each trip was the best ever! Once we booked with another charter & now understand why we are committed to 3 - 4 trips with Cap’n Brad a year. We recommend Cap’n Brad & Speck Dat for everyone & I am a seasoned salt water angler myself.

Fantastic trip with Capt. Brad! Forecast was horrible but he managed to keep us dry most of the day and put us right on the fish. Very personable and friendly, top notch equipment, and nobody works harder than him on the water when the fish turn on and the action gets chaotic. From trying to bait every hook, to unhooking every fish, to making sure everyone is having a great time, Capt. Brad absolutely exceeded all of our expectations for our trip. Will definitely be at the top of our list for future bookings!

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.
