When they say kid friendly, they mean in. My family and I had a wonderful experience and can’t recommend this charter enough. If I’m being honest, I didn’t have high expectations for this trip - not only were we fishing with a 3 year old, but the weather didn’t exactly cooperate and it was colder than anticipated and quite a bit windier. We had been warned up front that conditions weren’t ideal for fish and the bite was difficult the day prior. Nonetheless, we were in New Orleans for a weekend trip and really wanted to get out for the experience regardless of whether or not we caught anything. I expected to be done somewhere between 0900 and 1000, fully anticipating my daughter’s attention span to wane. Surprisingly, that didn’t happen and we stayed the entire time.
Captain Barry worked very hard to make sure my family - including my wife and daughter who don’t fish - had a great time. He made sure they reeled in fish, took great pictures, and learned a lot about the local waterways and culture. Though it wasn’t completely about catching fish, we ended up exceeding even the Captain’s expectations and ended up boating nine fish, seven of which were legal. Better than the meat—which is incredibly tasty—we came back with a lot of good memories, including the satisfaction of seeing my daughter smile from ear to ear for hours, and the added bonus of having her help process the fish… and toss scraps to a rather animated flight of pelicans.

We are so excited that yall had such an Awesome trip - Thank yall so much for booking with Us ! Captain Barry was so impressed by your daughter. We hope to have yall back at a future time. Thank you again
Miss Susan was great to work with. When the heavy storms went through, she was in constant contact with us to move the departure time back. All I can say about Chad is probably one of the most personable captains we have ever chartered with. Made us feel right at home and had the patience of a SAINT for our crew of 4. He kept moving to locate the fish as a huge storm went through the night before. Thank you Chad and Big Fish Charters for a great time. If we were to come back down from Michigan we definitely ask for Chad again.

Our family of 4 had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Chad with Big Dog Fishing Charters. He was extremely knowledgeable about where the fish were and how to catch them. We caught trout all morning long. He was very professional and patient. If we are ever in the New Orleans area we will definitely book another trip with him.
Thank yall again! We are so happy your family totally enjoyed your experience
