WE CAUGHT FISH

VERIFIED

4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 26, 2025

Captain Brad put us on some black drum to start the day. Caught a massive 50lb drum to start the day off when a school of jack made there way right too us. We chased them around for an hour or so and we pulled 7 plus out and broke 5 or more off. After that we went back to hit the black drum and hooked up on a few more and they broke us off. We finished up the day fishing for some other fish and speckled trout. Caught a bunch of keepers. WHAT A DAY. Captain Brad was a super patient and extremely knowledgeable about the fish, water and various boats. If I come back I’m booking him again!

Went out on a morning half day trip with Brad and my dad, nephews, and I had a great trip! Caught plenty of snook, sea trout, keeper mangrove snapper, and a few Goliath grouper! Tarpon were all over the place but didn’t want to cooperate this morning. Brad was great with my nephews who are new to fishing. Awesome trip

4 Hour Trip (PM) on February 12, 2025

We had a great time it was a windy day so we went into the cannel caught some fish it was our first time fishing in Florida. We had so much fun and the fish gave us a fight. I highly recommend trying it. The captain was very helpful and well equipped for our trip. I enjoyed the fishing experience which only takes 4-5 people so the captain can focus on us giving each of us his undivided attention 😀

6 Hour Trip on February 13, 2025

Brad was a fantastic captain! He was a pleasure to be on the water with and worked hard! We had schnook, redfish, and jacks. I caught a nice schnook in the mangroves and he was pretty wrapped up. Brad never complained (could have!) and landed the fish! I could not recommend him more highly!

angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

I grew up fishing salt and fresh water in South and Central Florida my whole life. I enjoy being outdoors and sharing the outdoors with others. After a long career as a firefighter, I am now able to take people fishing full-time and see them enjoy being outside and fishing as much as I enjoy it.
