My wife Julie and I booked an afternoon fishing trip with Brian of Latitude Charters and right off I must say this was THE best chartered fishing trip I have experienced. Brian was loaded up and prepared to go when we arrived at our departure time.

Brian has an easy going, friendly personality, and was very easy to talk with. Brian’s boat was ready to go and very clean and well organized.

Brian went through safety procedures and headed out to the fishing area. After a short ride it was time to go fishing. Brian broke out the fishing poles and baited up our hooks. His equipment was well maintained and ready to go. It wasn’t long and I had a fish on. That was just the start of the many fish Julie and I caught that afternoon. We caught Many Sea Trout and Julie even caught a lady fish.

We ended up with a boat limit on Sea Trout, and as I said MANY smaller Sea Trout. This was by far the best Chartered fishing trip I’ve had, and we will be back.

Brian had a great deal of knowledge of this fishing area to say the least.

This trip was a great one!  We started off with some Shark fishing, moved to regular fishing, and even was able to take in some wild life sights at the end.  Captain Brian knew so much about the area and can certainly give a history on the area and wild life, but what makes him great is his knowledge of the overall fishing experience.  My family hadn’t really done much more then simplistic pond before this.  He had everything ready to go.  The first half hour we got to our first fishing spot and within one hour already hooked four sharks. 

After a couple hours, (and some 7 or 8 sharks relied in) we moved to another spot for some regulars fishing.  He helped my family all learn how to fish and get more bites.  We caught 8 fish in about another hour time. 

Last, he was able to see some manatees and we were able to get close enough to enjoy them in their natural habitat without truly disturbing them because of his care for their well being.  His experience with the cove and all its great features showed in every part of the trip.  I could not not suggest anyone better for a fishing experience than Brian and his company.

Thanks again and can’t wait to call him up again when we come back in a year!

First off, Brian is a great guy. Clean boat, tons of experience and you notice it right from the get go. He makes it easy to make sure you are set up to have your bait in the water. Most importantly, we caught a ton of fish today and he made sure we went home with fresh filets perfectly cut. Would highly recommend and will be going again with other family and friends in the future.

Appreciate the day Brian,
All the best!

Had a great time.  Caught trout and pompano.  Capt Brian kept the kid’s lines in the water and kept us on the fish.  He cleaned and filleted our fish and we were able to take them down the road to a local restaurant where they cooked them for us.  Capt Brian was very accommodating start to finish.  We hope to go again next summer to catch some shark!

We scheduled our trip on what would turn out to be probably the worst day of the year sadly but Captain Brian went above and beyond to score my little boys a few catches. In the end they had a great time and were thrilled. We appreciated the effort Captain Brian put in for us and will absolutely recommend him to our friends and be seeing him in the future.
