Join Captain Brad on yet another fishing adventure! He’s been running trips in the Daytona Beach and New Smyrna Beach for over 20 years and there’s hardly a good fishing spot he doesn’t know of.

Capt. Brad welcomes you to his 25’ Dorado center console. This vessel has been equipped with a powerful 300 HP Suzuki engine, navigational electronics, safety equipment (with life jackets in all sizes), and a private toilet. There’s enough room for 6 anglers to come fishing but if your group is smaller, you also have another option – book Capt. Brad’s second boat, that accommodates up to 3 guests.

A trip with Capt. Brad will take you to Florida’s offshore waters, flats, and backcountry. The distance that you make from the coast will depend on what species you want to catch. You’ll be using different techniques, such as popping, jigging, and spinning. You can also do fly fishing but bring your own equipment in that case.

Some of the species you might catch are Flounder, Spotted Seatrout, Tarpon, Black Drum, and Redfish. If you go a bit further, you can target Mackerel, Cobia, or Bonito. The good news is, the captain will clean your catch after the trip, just don’t forget to tip him in return. Your fishing equipment is fully covered and you only need to bring snacks and drinks.

Decide how much time you want to spend on the water and choose the date – it’s that easy! No matter what, Capt. Brad guarantees that there’s catch on every trip!

Captain Brad was born and grew up on a river and was always told by his friends that he should be a captain. He has now been fishing the Florida waters professionally for 17 years around areas such as the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon, the coast line running from Daytona to New Smyrna beach, and offshore deep fishing up to 40 miles. For the last 11 years he has devoted himself full-time to offering guided charters, doing what he loves. He uses all the knowledge he has learnt over the years to make sure you're in with the best possible chance of finding fish.
