Noel CoteRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewBS Charters and Captain Brody delivered an awesome day on the water!
Full day inshore fishing trip on October 26, 2026 • 2 adultsWe headed out to Crystal River on a pretty windy day, so much so that we practically had the water all to ourselves with no other boats around. While we are not new to fishing, this was our first time targeting redfish and snook, and Captain Brody made it a great experience. The boat was very comfortable and handled the choppy, windy waters with ease, keeping us safe and stable. Captain Brody really knew his stuff. When something wasn't working, he adjusted on the fly and took us to multiple different spots until we found where the fish were holding up. We ended up catching quite a few redfish (smalls and keepers), a really nice snook, and a handful of catfish and ladyfish to keep things interesting. Since we were flying back to Maine the next morning, we released all the fish, but it was a blast catching them. If you want a hard-working guide with a top-notch boat who puts you on fish even when the weather isn't cooperating, books with BS Charters and Captain Brody. We had a blast!

Half day inshore fishing trip on November 9, 2026 • 2 adultsIt was a fantastic fishing day. We put up double digits with multiple species. The captain was incredibly knowledgeable and amicable. He pulled out every trick in the book to get us on those fish. We look forward to booking with him again and highly encourage everyone to do the same.

Elizabeth Ricciani5.0VerifiedA Family Adventure
Half day inshore fishing trip on September 29, 2026 • 4 adultsMy family and I had a great time fishing with Captain Brody today! Caught a variety of fish including red drum, salt water trout, a few sharks and a nice variety of others. We saw a huge sea turtle as well. Captain Brody had a lot of patience with us and even filleted our fish to bring home. He was very knowledgeable regarding his surroundings and knowing the best places to catch the fish. We hope to come back next year!

Wesley LebronRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAMAZING TRIP
Half day inshore fishing trip on August 9, 2026 • 2 adultsMy wife and I had an amazing time fishing. The captain put us on the fish right away. Super fun fishing those redfish. I am looking forward to come back and fish in the winter time. The captain went above and beyond to put us on fish, to make my wife comfortable who was fishing for the first time, and to give us the best experience out on the water.

Deborah Greer5.0VerifiedWe booked a half day scalloping trip with Captain Brody.
4-6 hour scalloping trip on August 22, 2026 • 6 adultsOur scalloping trip was cut short, murky water and light rain. Captain Brody offered to take us to the springs, which we joyfully accepted. Some springs you can only get to via watercraft. The weather got worse but we had a great experience.
Nick Cannon5.0VerifiedGreat scallop trip!
4-6 hour scalloping trip on July 19, 2026 • 5 adultsEnded up going out with captain Tommy and had a great day. He put us on scallops quickly. We got what we wanted and told him that we had plenty of scallops so with the time left he took us to the springs to snorkel there.
