    Best birthday trip EVER!!!

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore on July 3, 2026 • 2 adults

    Brought my brother-in-law on this trip for his 30th birthday. Captain Brian made it his mission to put us on the fish. Our trip with Sports Coast Inshore Charters was hands-down the best fishing experience we’ve ever had. From start to finish, the captain, the gear, and the sheer volume of fish we caught exceeded every expectation. He has made us life long customers! Trout, Snapper, Grouper and even a flounder!!!

    4 hr trip with Captain Brian.

    Half Day Trip – Inshore on March 29, 2023 • 3 adults

    Wonderful trip. Brian kept in touch with us as the the trip got closer to the day. His boat was great ,well equipped with quality stuff , bait was netted fresh that morning , Brian was energetic , friendly, and cordial, he worked hard to get us to the fish , he was in touch with his fellow captains , and they all said the fish were not cooperating much that day. We did get a nice Red Snapper , had a couple more on. Lost a big Snook at the boat (fisherman error , Me ) don’t hesitate to book with Brian did a nice job

    Full Day Trip – Inshore on March 14, 2023 • 3 adults

    We booked a full day with Brian and it was hell with the small cold front that moved in and the wind but Brian tried everything to put us on some fish but with the conditions it was difficult. We ended the trip with a keeper trout and a very nice snook. Don't second guess about booking a trip with him.

    Inshore fishing with Captain Brian. We had 4 hours of fun. Our captain was very helpful. He made sure our lines were always bated and back in the water. We fished several hot spots. We had lots of bites and did catch 4 fish. Good fun. Definitely recommend

    I have been wanting to take a fishing trip with my dad for a long time. Captain Brian gave us both a great experience and taught us a great deal about fishing in the Gulf. I highly recommend booking with Captain Brian!

Captain Brian is a local, and he has been fishing since he was 8 years old. He decided to pursue his passion and recently became a licensed captain. Fishing is what he loves most, and he enjoys being able to take out people who can't fish on their own or don't have the knowledge to do so. He really enjoys giving people a great experience, and nothing makes him happier than the smiles on people's faces when they catch a prized fish. He is also a firefighter. He's been a firefighter-paramedic for 6 years. He participated in the First Responder Games tournament for firefighters, police, and military. Last time his team placed 4th. 'I have been fishing since I can remember, and I grew up fishing with family and friends. I lived in Pasco County my entire life and know the waters like my own backyard.'
