Member since May 2014 Barataria, United States
Background
Born and raised on the Bayous of Lafitte (Barataria Basin). There is no greater way of life or joy than to share our heritage with those visiting New Orleans. I love to see the light in people's eyes as they land their catch - whether it is their 1st or 100th fish, it is always a pleasure to share a bit of the Bayou with others. I own and operate Big Dog Fishing Charters and have a team of Captains waiting to show you a great time!
Techniques
Fishing style and technique varies depending on conditions and also client's abilities. From throwing Shrimp to Artificial / Sight Casting to dropping a line we do it all!

COME ON DOWN AND CATCH YOU SOME REDS!
COME ON DOWN AND CATCH YOU SOME REDS!
Sep 7, 2016 Barataria
SEPTEMBER OFFERS AMAZING FISHING - WEATHER TENDS TO COOL DOWN A BIT STARTING THIS MONTH AND WE USUALLY SEE THE BULL REDS MOVING IN - BULL REDS ARE REDFISH THAT ARE 27" AND LARGER. REDFISH (EVEN THE SMALLER ONES) GIVE A GOOD FIGHT BUT BULL REDS REALLY BUT IT ON YOU !! BULLS WILL OFTEN HAVE YOU FIGHTING 10 - 20 MINUTES TO GET THAT BIG BOY INTO THE BOAT - BULL REDS ARE A BLAST TO CATCH BUT WE OFTEN RECOMMEND NOT TO KEEP THEM - THE MEAT FROM THE SMALLER REDS IS MUCH BETTER TO EAT. IF WE ARE RELEASING A BULL RED ( OR ANY OTHER FISH) BACK INTO THE WATER IT IS BEST TO EASE THEM BACK IN AND GENTLY MOVE THEM BACK AND FORTH TO GET WATER MOVING THROUGH THEIR GILLS. THEY ARE THEN ALLOWED TO SWIM ANOTHER DAY AND BRING THE ENJOYMENT OF REELING IN A BULL RED TO ANOTHER CLIENT ... BOOK YOUR TRIP TODAY !!
