Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenBrian was awesome and took us straight to the fish, we were catching fish within 15 min of being on the boat and when it slowed he moved us quickly!

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 28, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 childrenMy two 11 year old boys and I had a great experience with Capt Brian. We caught many Perch and two large 20+ lb Catfish. The boys were estatic on the haul. Brian is very knowledgable on where the fish are biting and great with teaching the boys how to reel and cast properly. Highly recommend this trip!

Half Day Trip (AM) on August 14, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenThe trip was great! Brian was great with my 7yo and wife who had never been on a fishing trip. We caught perch pretty much all day and got a large Chanel catfish. We caught probably 30 fish in total. Awesome day and great first time experience for my wife and son.

Captain Brian is very personable and works hard to get you on fish. We caught perch and some really big catfish on this trip (July). Largest cats we have ever caught and was really fun for our kids (12 yr olds). The Carova beach public launch area was a great way to start the trip as you were on fish quickly. Even if you aren’t staying in the 4WD area it’s a great adventure getting up to Carova and heading out from there. Plus sound side is much calmer than ocean charters. Thanks!!

Father and son (age 5) trip! Jeff was great, knowledgeable and patient! Caught about 15 fish, took 2 back to the house. Brian was in communication with us prior to the trip. Have to get a fishing license prior. Lifejacket provided for child.
From start to finish, Brian was personable and quite knowledgeable about the area and fishing. We caught 40+ fish - catfish, perch. We had a great time and would go with Brian again!
