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.
