We had a great time fishing with Chad.  He was very helpful and accommodating especially with the ladies in our group.  We didn’t hit the best weather but still had a good time.  Any captain can do well when conditions are ideal.  It takes a really good one to create a good experience when conditions are bad.  That is definitely Chad.  I highly recommend Southern Access Charters for your fishing trip.

Great outfitter. Had a full day with Capt Chad Rudolph. Weather front moved in the night before we went out and the fish weren’t in their normal locations Capt Chad stayed on the move till he found them. It was obvious he was 100% determined to put us on the fish. Hes knowledge of the Venice bay system was truly impressive and he sure enough found the fish! Ended up with good numbers of slot reds and well over 20 bulls caught and relesed, biggest was 42 inches. I will definitely fish with cajun unlimited again next year.

My wife and I had a fantastic 2-day fishing trip with captain Chad.  He worked really hard to put us on the fish and to make sure that we had a lot of action and a good time.  He knows his way around the Venice area.  While other boats were sheltering due to bad weather, captain Chad was able to maneuver around the storms, and we caught some of the biggest fish we’ve ever seen.  Chad is really family friendly and works equally well with kids and newbies or experienced fishermen.  We will definitely be going back for another trip soon!

Captain Chad was a good teacher and a fun guide.

Chad is awesome!!! I have done many guided trips before but this by far was one of the best. Chad really put us on fish right away and kept us fishing hard all day. We will be back in the future. Thanks Chad
