We came down from the Midwest and brought the cold with us. Thankfully, the day of our charter, the weather was perfect (70’s). From the moment I booked the trip to the day of, Brandon was excellent with communication, response and customer service.  We had our two boys with us who have fished before in lakes, but never in the Everglades. 

We booked a four hour trip and couldn’t have had a better experience with Brandon!  He was outgoing, patient, and had a passion for fishing.  He was excited for any and all of our catches.  Even the big ones that got away and didn’t quite get in the boat. 

Our youngest had the first catch of the day and finished with two.  Although our oldest didn’t snag anything, he was complimented on his ability to skip a lure and still had a ton of fun (his bragging rights for the day).  Mom also blanked unless you count the rock fish and tree snags.  Dad came away with three and had the biggest.

We didn’t catch a ton of fish, but the experience was still an unforgettable one. Fishing is like golf…you can have really good days and not so good days, but it beats being in the cold or at the office!  I know we’d rather be on a boat any day of the week. 

Thank you Brandon for a fun morning!  It was a great Christmas present from the grandparents that will be talked about for a long time.  Especially since the little brother “won”…at least against his brother…lol!

Captain Brandon was amazing!!!!! He made sure we had the reels setup correctly so casting and reeling in was easy and comfortable. He was also very patient with our two girls, as they were snagged on the bottom many times. Heck, even I was snagged several times and he got the lure free quickly. We caught 2 Mangrove snappers, a catfish and to top it off my 9 year old got to reel in a small bull shark. Our 8 year old daughter got a little discouraged and bored since she didn’t catch anything during the charter. Captain Brandon fixed that by helping her catch a Jack fish in the marina after we tied up the boat at the dock. It was a great time for us as this type of fishing was a totally new experience. I would highly recommend Captain Brandon for this type of charter. If we ever make it back to the Naples area, we will definitely book with Captain Brandon again.

We were nervous about taking the kiddos out - but it worked out well. Brandon allowed the kids to feel comfortable and confident. Boat was the perfect size, shade covering was nice to have. We enjoyed ourselves and will be back again! Loved making the memories. I do hope that next time we make the most of all our time! 4 hours - was more like 3.5 on the water and maybe 2.5 fishing?! I knew the travel to and from, and getting acquainted would take a minute but the kicker was we were back 20mins early! I would loved another 20 mins out on the water!

That being said, I can definitely respect Brandon’s time and work that is involved getting prepped, ready, etc and clean up, tying up the end of the day. It is worth the cost to go, just wanted more time! 😃😎 Next time!

Great experience in Ten Thousand Islands with Capt. Brandon! He got us to all the good spots and spent extra time to help us keep fishing because the tides were a little too low at the beginning of the charter. He was great to hang with and super chill! Bring beers and just hang out!

My Dad and I had an unreal day on the water with Brandon. His tremendous amount of knowledge and experience in the area led us to exactly what we were after, a monster shark! Great conversation and even better stories made the trip that much more enjoyable. If you’re looking to catch a shark, Brandon is the man for the job.
