Your trip will start on a 23 foot center console that can sit up to 4 guests. It runs on a 200 HP Suzuki engine and has all the navigation technology to quickly take you to the fish.

The captain uses both light and heavy tackle. You’ll be able to bottom fish, troll, spin, and jig for many interesting species. You’ll try to catch Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Jack Crevalle, Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, and many more. Kids are always welcome on Captain Bryan’s trip, so don’t hesitate to bring your whole family and have a wonderful time on the water. You’re free to either keep or release the fish you catch.

The only thing you should bring on your trip is some food and drinks. The captain covers you for all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and live bait, as well as fishing licenses.

Captain Bryan and B&B Charters invite you on a beautiful day on the water.

    This trip is meant for parents with young children that probably can’t handle a 4 hour trip. It’s not a go all out hardcore fishing trip because of time constraints. We are successful on most trips, but there is a big difference between the 4 hour trip and the 2 hour trip. We typically troll for mackerel or fish with live bait for mangrove snapper at the jetties.
