When we booked the trip we told Captain Brad we just wanted to catch fish and he said no problem. Boy did he deliver we easily caught 20 fish and a massive red fish. I will definitely be booking more trips with him.

Captain Brad was an excellent guide when visiting New Smyrna. He had great knowledge of the waters and where to find the fish. We would definitely book with him again.

Captain Brad Kayholm is a former tournament fisherman. He decided to begin his own guide service and has been a licensed captain and charter operator since 2014. His boat is his office, and he fishes over 300 days out of the year – there’s no other place he’d rather be! His clients say he’s “passionate, accommodating, and very knowledgable,” and it’s no wonder that so many have become repeat customers. Join Capt. Brad's team on the water and get ready for some exciting inshore action!
