I took my 8 year old son and father-in-law on a 3 hour fishing charter with Captain Brian, and wow, what a great experience. We all learned more about fishing these waters than we ever could have imagined, and Luke actually caught a shark, as you can see in the picture!!! Captain Brian knew just where to take us to have the fishing experience of our lives. He was very down to earth and knowledgeable. One of my favorite parts was when he would call out what type of fish it was before we even reeled it in! Thanks again Captain Brian and if we are back in Cape Coral I’ll be calling you again!

Bottom line, this was a fantastic trip and Captain Brian was stellar. My wife and I took our 3 boys out with us (10, 7 and 5 yo). The boat and gear was all top notch, and Captain Brian did a great job helping and teaching the boys the whole time (baiting hooks, removing fish, helping with pictures, techniques not to lose fish, etc). The most important part - we had tight lines all morning because Captain put us on fish early and often. We put about 40 into the boat and lost about half that near the boat (hey we’re learning…). The boys had a blast reeling in fish all day - Ladyfish, Spanish Macks, speckled trout and even a puffer fish and some pinfish. We didn’t get the shark my 5yo wanted, but it was just truly a fantastic morning on the water. When we come back down, Captain Brian is our guide! Thanks again.

Captain Brian was great right from the start. We got there 15 minutes early or so and we’re going within 5 minutes of getting there.10 mins later we were hooking them up.  Tons of fresh shrimp and good equipment. Boat was incredibly smooth. I have been on several charter trips and caught more fish on this one than any other period.  This was not an ideal day with the timing of Tide’s etc but he had us on fish from the first cast to the last.  As soon as the action slowed on a spot we took a 5 min breather to hydrate and relocate and each time didn’t disappoint. 

Brian did a great job of educating me on what I needed to do differently than my normal bass fishing.  And listening to him paid off.  He was great at not overwhelming my youngest ADHD son with too much instruction rather made suggestions a bit at a time. He never fishes for more than 15 minutes even when catching fish regularly.  Based on Tide’s etc we targeted Ladyfish and trout.  But my oldest son also landed a 35 lb Shovelhead (Bonnett) Shark and a rare Blue Fish. I caught 23 fish.  My oldest caught around 15 and youngest caught 14 I think. Hard fish to land so we probably hooked up on 2-3 times that many. 

Brian was a great instructor and lots of good exchange’s of fish stories by both of us.  Great fun and would do it again for sure.

Captain Brian is extremely knowledgeable about the water and the fish types that are available based on the time of year and the general conditions.
We did the three hour trip based on our wives and there uncertainties, however wish we would have done a half day based on the fun!!!
Highly recommend Brian as he knows the best chance to catch fish in a lot of situations and will do his hardest to put you on fish.

Kids had a great time. I lost count how many they caught but I am sure it would be 30 or more. The captain made sure the kids had a good time. Next time we are in town we will give him a call to take us out again.
