We just enjoyed our second trip with Captain Brian Estes and will never be able to say enough good things about thia very enthusiastic guy. The conditions were rough but he was determined. He really wanted to get us on a tarpon and it was a success! had lots of fun out there with him. great guy!!
Captain Brian was first class and very fun to fish with. Very knowledgeable and had great equipment. Will definitely recommend!
Brian was awesome.
Captain Brian was super attentive and a patient teacher who put us on fish 🐟 right away. We would definitely book Ana Banana again and request Captain Brian. Great afternoon of fishing 🎣

Captain Joel is on the water 300 days per year, and he loves every minute of it. This very experienced captain is a third-generation fishing captain in his family. He's a native of Florida and has traveled the world over for fish. He used to be in the death care industry for almost 20 years and focused on childhood grief issues and grief counseling. He's also a co-creator of two published kids' books. Captain Joel loves acquainting his guests with the most epic fish, which he believes are exactly where he is from – the Gulf of America and Atlantic Ocean!
