Exceeded expectations
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on June 24, 20262 adults3 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 in spite of difficult conditions
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on March 17, 20262 adults2 children

The day of our trip the day dawned very cold in the mid 30s, so we delayed the start time until about noon. It was still very cold and windy but captain Brian made the day for us. He did not stay hunkered down in a quiet cove with no fish. He stayed on the move until he put us on a school of red fish where we put some in the box and caught several oversized fish, then found a slightly protected area where we were able to put some black drum and a sheep‘s head in the box.In spite of the cold he kept our spirits high and my two teenage grandchildren, my daughter and I had a wonderful day. I highly recommend Brian if you’re looking for a great day of fishing in the Charles area

Mid July - Reds, Trout, Flounder
4 Hour Trip – Inshore - 12:30 PM on July 15, 20264 adults

5 person trip, only fishes 4 rods at a time. Great communication from Captain Brian. Used popping corks and bottom fishing in shore - caught Flounder, Trout, and Reds. 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.

GREAT DAY ON THE WATER!
6 Hour Trip - Inshore AM on September 11, 20252 adults

Capt. Brian did a great job for my wife & me on a slow bite day. Made sure we had multiple opportunities, which paid off with a beautiful keeper redfish and a very nice black drum, both of which a local restaurant cooked perfectly for us within a few hours of catching. Capt. worked very hard, was patient and professional, and made sure we saw some beautiful scenery in our search for fish at multiple locations. Brian grew up fishing in this area, and it shows. Love his boat, too!! Slow catch day, but that’s fishing, and we loved it! No reservations recommending this guide.
