    Exceeded expectations

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on June 24, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Our family of five recently had the opportunity to fish with Captain Brian, and the experience exceeded every expectation we had. Traveling with three small children can sometimes make activities challenging, but Captain Brian was incredibly patient, engaging, and accommodating from start to finish. He took the time to make sure our kids felt comfortable, taught them about fishing, and celebrated every catch as if it were his own. His knowledge of the water was impressive, and it was obvious he works hard to put his customers on fish. More importantly, he created an atmosphere that was fun, safe, and family-friendly. What stood out most was how genuinely invested Captain Brian was in making sure everyone had a great time. Our kiddos are still talking about the fish they caught and the memories they made. By the end of the trip, it felt less like a charter and more like spending the day with a friend who loves sharing his passion for fishing.

    Great Fishing Trip with Capt Brian!

    Winter Time Fishing - 12:00 PM on October 20, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife & I had a fantastic morning on the river with Flood Tide Charters in mid-October. Capt Brian is an outstanding guide, he was knowledgeable, patient, and clearly an expert. He put us on the Red drum right away, and we had a blast catching fish all morning. The whole experience was smooth, fun, and memorable. Highly recommend!

    Best charter ever!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on September 5, 2026 • 3 adults

    Booked this charter for a birthday trip, and it did not disappoint! Captain Brian knew exactly where to go, how to catch the fish, and what tackle to use. Immediately started catching fish at our first couple spots and caught a couple sharks at the very end. Super knowledgeable and laid back guy to go fishing with. Don't look anywhere else for your charter needs!!!

Reds were slot and up to 28 and half. Hit 4 apots in 4 hours. Captain knows the waters and where to fish. Over great experience.
