New Smyrna Beach, FL, United States

Come aboard Captain Brad’s brand new 18 ft Beavertail for a quality fishing experience in the inshore area around New Smyrna Beach. The prime location of the charter means it is easy to travel to some of the most popular fishing spots and beautiful ecosystems Florida has to offer, including the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, the Indian River and Spruce Creek for bountiful backwater and inshore fishing opportunities.                   
                                   
Captain Brad can’t wait to show you his new boat. Its 90HP Suzuki engine can take up to 3 people around the area in comfort. Equipped with top-of-the-line gear, the boat is fitted with a spacious live well for your bait, which is particularly important for Captain Brad, who makes it his policy never to use dead or frozen bait.

Brad’s considerable fishing experience in the area will make any trip diverse and interesting. He can show you how to work the bait pods around the oyster bars to find huge game fish, as well as practicing sight fishing in the flats and working the docks and structures to find whatever might be lurking underneath the waters and in the shadows.

Brad uses a variety of techniques depending on the season and has honed his trade to the point that he catches big game fish in and out of season. He finds popping techniques very effective for topwater fishing and always uses the best quality artificial topwater lures. He uses Shimano gear for light tackle spin fishing for Trout and other species.

As someone who is always aware of the tide tables, moon phases, peak fishing times and barometric pressure, Brad can put you in the best place to catch what you’re after. His experience and customer service mean his customers come back to fish with him time and again.

A beautiful day!

VERIFIED

It was a beautiful day but maybe too nice. Recent weather had kept the waters warmer than usual and the fish were spread out. Capt Brad took up into a creek where many do not go. We caught and saw redfish, caught a sea trout and small snappers. Saw several fish working. Capt Brad is very knowledgeable of the area and works hard to put fish on the line.

3 hour trip with Captian Brad

VERIFIED

I took my 13 year old grandson fishing for his first time. Captain Brad was very patient and showed him how to hold the rod and cast the line. By the end of our short trip he was able to cast with confidence. He even reeled in 3 fish and had a good experience. We will go back out with Captian Brad in the near future.
