Capt. Bryan is an environmentalist and enthusiastic guide when it comes to sustainable fishing practices.

You’ll have the opportunity to target an impressive variety of nearshore species, including Cobia, Black Seabass, Sheepshead, Gag Grouper, and Mangrove Snapper. You can also fish the backcountry flats and surrounding shallow waters for Snook, Redfish, Seatrout, Flounder, and other inshore favorites.

Capt. Bryan also offers fun scalloping trips for the family. This is an awesome opportunity for the kids to go for a swim, snorkel, and fill the cooler up with delicious Scallops! Every trip, fishing or scalloping, comes with everything you need. Capt. Bryan will also offer to clean and fillet your catch at the end of the day so you can enjoy a savory meal once you get home.

You’ll be fishing from a 19’ Carolina Skiff 198DLV center console. The vessel is equipped with a Suzuki 140 HP motor, a GPS, a fishfinder, a trolling motor, and a livewell. The boat accommodates 4 guests on fishing trips and 6 on scalloping trips. You’ll be provided with top-of-the-line rods and reels and your snorkeling equipment is included in the price as well.
