I struggled with catching a king. CAPTAIN put us on the fish!
Was a awesome trip very knowledgeable crew rods and reels were very nice helped me catch exactly what I wanted off the bottom I said I wanted a big trigger and he delivered me a 18 and 21 inch trigger one of the best trips I’ve taken would highly recommend
I never went deep sea fishing before, so I had no clue of what to expect. Due my to my lack of experience, Capt. Brandon quickly shifted gears, into becoming a coach. He not only took to great fishing locations, but taught me different techniques on how to catch fish. Afterwards, he helped fillet/package the fish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Can’t wait to go back to Florida and book my next trip!
We had a lot of fun and Captain Hilliard was very professional.i would highly recommend him to anyone.

Your captain
Captain Brandon Hillard is an Active Duty member of the United States Air Force. He was born and raised in East St. Louis, IL. There he got the fishing bug in the fresh waters of the area around the age of 5. Soon after being stationed in Florida, he got a taste of saltwater fishing and he was hooked for life. Starting from fishing on the pier and beaches, he moved further and further away from the coast, fishing nearshore and offshore waters. His offshore escapades have led him to fish all over the Panhandle, down to the Florida Keys, Alabama, Louisiana, and even to the Bahamas. Capt. Brandon is certified through the United States Coast Guard. All licenses, bait, and tackle are provided through him. All equipment is new and in excellent condition, so a faulty rod and reel will be the last of your worries.
