Great day fishing with Capt. Brian
Half Day Trip on June 13, 2025
Took my 12 year old son and his buddy fishing with Capt. Brian while we were in town. He was great with the boys teaching them tips and tricks (they have only fished local ponds). Captain Brian immediately put us on the fish and kept things lively, moving us to different spots when the weather was approaching and causing some chop. Overall we caught, 2 spotted trout, 1 bass, 1 stingray and 8 sharks. They had an absolute blast fighting the sharks and I would recommend anyone looking for a great charter to book with Captain Brian.

Half Day Trip on June 27, 2025
Captain Brian did an amazing job putting us on fish and showing us a great time ! We caught a ton of fish- bull reds, Black Sea bass, sharks, rays and he was extremely informative and helpful throughout the whole day. Couldn’t recommend him enough, a great captain and looking forward to going fishing again with him soon!

I took my family of 5 out with Captain Brian. He was awesome. He communicated well pre-trip, was prompt, has a great boat and great equipment. He made it relaxed and fun. He knows where the fish are and is attentive to your needs. I have a friend coming here in a few months and I’ve already recommended Brian!

Half Day Trip on May 23, 2025
Brian was awesome all around! He was great with us and our kids! Very personable and knew his fish! Lol He was able to tell us what each fish was that we caught even have some insight to species of some. Her took us to different locations where we each caught something. He had plenty of live bait and was well equipped for a family of 5. Very patient and kind! Would highly recommend!
