Zachary Vance5.0February fishing trip
Evening Dock Light Trip on February 6, 2026Captain Brien always puts us on them. I have been fishing with him in Florida for years. Whether it is Tarpon, snook, reds or whatever else you are after, he will do everything except catch them for you.
Charles KrempaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat Morning on Sarasota Bay
Half Day Trip (AM) on May 4, 2026 • 2 adultsBrian was great. Very personable & knowledgeable. Had us on the fish. We would fish with Brian again!
Brent Wilson5.0A Hard-Working and Knowledgeable Fishing Guide
Full Day Trip on October 13, 2025I have fished was Captain Boehm multiple times and will continue to do so. Whether it’s targeting tarpon and other inshore species in Southwest Florida, or chasing bull reds in Louisiana, he will consistently put you on the fish. I can also recommend his night trips - targeting fish around dock lights. He’s professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
James Ross5.0Full day and Dock Light
Evening Dock Light Trip on May 1, 2024Capt Brian is not a "punch the clock " guide - he treats each client with the upmost respect and care . He is patient and helpful - even while I was up on the bow forgetting everything I knew about casting a fly rod ( blame it on Tarpon Fever). His boat and equipment are top notch , well maintained , clean and comfortable. He comes prepared with everything needed for the trip. He communicates very well. Most importantly - he knows where to go and when to go there. Knowledge is powerful and he has plenty of it. Don't hesitate - call the Capt.
Christina Johnson5.0Captain Brian the Best Guide Ever
Full Day Trip on November 11, 2025Captain Brian has been my guide for the last 10 years. Each trip was an adventure as I caught many outstanding fish. It's a pleasure to be with him as he has a wonderful personality and really knows the water. I would highly reccomend him as your guide!
David Siskind5.0Banging it in Buras
Full Day Trip on October 27, 2024I fished with Brian out of Buras. We worked creeks and ponds in the marshes mostly west of the Mississippi. He was super finding fish and knew where the bulls were likely hanging. We spent a few hours following birds in the Gulf looking for bulls busting bait. Got a couple - they were golden! A unique experience. Very congenial fellow. We fished for four days. Super!
David Bergman5.0Professional Guiding At Its Peak
Full Day Trip on July 5, 2023Captain Brian is a guide you will use again and again. I have had the pleasure of fishing with him on all of his trip offerings. He is attentive to your wants and needs as an angler and really makes you feel like a team on the skiff. It doesnt get much better than thins for the FL angler.
Derek Piglowski5.0VerifiedA Great Day on The Water
Half Day Trip (PM) on April 16, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was my wife’s first fishing charter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Captain Brian had us on the fish in no time and by the end of the day we had several species between the two of us. Most of all we greatly enjoyed our conversations with Captain Brian and learning more about the area. We couldn’t recommend Captain Brian highly enough! (Great for Seasoned and Beginner Anglers!)
Don Metzger5.0VerifiedHighest recommendation!!
Evening Dock Light Trip on March 26, 2026 • 2 adultsCaptain Brian was amazing. It was first time fishing for my 13 yr old son. Brian was patient and helpful such that my son caught 15 fish!! Amazing results and had great conversation with Brian as well. I give this the highest recommendation possible!!
R Scott Shearer5.0Full day redfish
Full Day Trip on October 16, 2025I have taken many trips with Brian in the Sarasota, Florida area. I have taken both day and evening dock light trips. Brian provides first rate equipment and flies. I have caught many sea trout, snook, redfish and juvenile tarpon. Brian has a great personality and we always have a few laughs during the trip.My most recent trip was with Brian in Louisiana for bull redfish. It was a great and successful trip!
