Need more stars!
If I could give this trip more than 5 stars I would. The day started with weather in the area, and the Captain made sure weather was safe and we were comfortable before heading out. After we arrived at first location, we had some hookups and the first of a few smiles. Later we went to a different area ( ask the captain where when you book your trip). The smiles and fish catching continued there and never ended until we were off the boat! If you are looking to go fish while in the area, book this guide! A great man running a great business and you will have a great time! Thank you Captain Brian!

We can’t recommend highly enough for you to contact Reel Florida Adventures!! Captain Brian was absolutely amazing. We really feel like we lucked out in finding him. He definitely knows where to go, where not to go and how to find the fish. It took us three hours to find the right spot, but boy did we ever and started reeling in the flounder captain. Brian is a native to the area knows the history of the bay and has lots of connections. Don’t hesitate to book your next fishing trip with Captain Brian..

Captain Brian was great!
We had a bit of a slow start because somebody raided Brian’s bait traps and stole all his bait. He didn’t let that stop us though We went straight out and caught some with a cast net. We headed to his fishing spots and got on fish right away. We caught several trout , catfish, small sharks, flounder, spade fish, lady fish and a grouper. It was a great day on the water and will definitely go back out with him when we are able to come back.

6 Hour Trip
A captain who works hard to make your trip a success!
My son and I have a lot of inshore fishing experience and we knew that Saturday's cold water temps, high winds, and negative low tide were going to prove to be a challenge when it came to putting a lot of fish in the boat. It was only because of Capt. Brian's experience and commitment to working hard for his clients that we had a great day on the water. Between the two of us, we caught a nice variety of fish including Speckled Trout, Flounder, Shark, Ladyfish, Grouper, and Redfish. If you're in the area with your family, I would highly encourage you to book a trip with Capt. Brian. He understands how important it is to introduce fishing to young people to fishing and he will bend over backward to make their experience a great one. If you're an experienced fisherman coming to Port St. Joe, you can't beat Capt. Brian's institutional knowledge of the bay and finding the areas that hold fish. His 24' skiff is the perfect size to access most bodies of water and his Penn rods and reels are well-maintained and ready for a hard day of fishing. We will definitely be back to do it again!

Great Trip will do it again
Captain Brian was fantastic. What started out as a slow day of catching dig ended great when captain Brian put us on some schools of redfish. Most exciting fish I have ever caught. Would highly recommend this charter and we will be going out with Brian next time we are down.
