Brian Hernandez5.0VerifiedBrothers first fish!
Skinny D's Half Day Trip on July 11, 2026 • 2 adultsMy brother and I went out on a half day and it was great! He was very attentive and paid attention to all the details. He showed my brother how to use the rods and he caught almost a dozen fish. He'll do what it takes to do what he believes will work. If I do another charter again, itll be with him.

Your captain
Holiday, Florida, United States
I'm originally from a small town called Cynthiana, Kentucky, and grew up fishing rivers, lakes, ponds, creeks, etc. I moved to the Tampa Bay Area in 2004 and fell in love w/ inshore fishing. Passionate about helping people catch fish.
