Awesome fishing trip.
6 Hour Bay Trip (AM) on June 15, 20264 adults

We had a great time with Captain Brice Carlson. He was ready to go when we showed up at the dock. Our request was to catch enough fish for a fish fry while we were in town and he delivered! He grew up locally and was very knowledgeable about the area and fishing the bay and backwater areas. We caught various species of trout, some drum, redfish and catfish. We ended up with 50 keeper fish which we took home and filleted for our fish fry! The boat and equipment were top notch as well. Brice was very professional and acted like "one of the guys" which was as good as it gets. I highly recommend Brice for any of your fishing needs.

Captain Brice was a hit!
4 Hour Bay Trip AM on June 11, 20261 adult2 children

Went out with Captain Brice today.. we caught some trout, pesky sharks and catfish but topped the day off with Redfish! My grandsons first fishing trip and i knew it was all worth it when we were on the way home and he asked if we could go back with captain Brice!!! I would recommend Captain Brice to anyone wanting to catch fish and have an overall GREAT time! Especially those wanting to take a younger angler to introduce them to fishing! Probably cost me some money cause i know he wants to go back! Thank you Captain Brice!

Half day bay fishing
Half day trip PM on July 7, 20263 adults2 children

Our captain was great with all our kids. He got us to calmer waters on a day that was far from calm when one of them was not a fan of the boat rocking. Gave us all pointers and was working overtime baiting 5 different hooks and taking all the fish off. Our highlight was reeling in a few different baby sharks! We brought home 30 fish and caught probably 50 between the 5 of us. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, friendly inshore bay fishing trip, we highly recommend!

4 Hour Bay Trip AM on June 19, 20262 adults3 children

We are visiting the Port St. Joe area for the 1st time and decider to book a fishing charter to enjoy with our 3 kids (4, 9 & 11). Cole and his son Fisher were ao easy going and helpful through entire day. we ended up trying a few different areas to catch fish and ended up finding a gold mind! The kids all loved it and we appreciated the extra safety provided to our 2 younger children. 10/10 and would def go again.

Captain Brice was awesome he made the whole time fun and enjoyable. He quick with locations on trying to get us on fish if the bite slowed down. He helped both my sons with patience and kindness. My youngest son had a absolute blast the entire time especially for his first boat trip experience. I would recommend this trip with captain Brice to anyone of any experience.

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

Hi, I am a 3rd generation charter fishing captain and local to Franklin County. I was raised on the great Apalachicola Bay and surrounding waters. I have two sons who love the water as much as me. I would love to spend the day with you showing you all that our wonderful bay has to offer. I offer many options for a fun field day on the water. If a day of fishing isn't what you are looking for maybe a sunset cruise is more your speed. Shelling trips, or river rides is also a few of the things I offer.
