WinterTime Fishing AM on February 9, 2025

Good time fishing with Brian again. This is a repeat ride with him because of how well he did the first time. We caught fish and some we had to let go because they were too big for the bag size. He accommodated my self, my girlfriend, my 5 yr old daughter, my girlfriend 2 teenage kids. everyone had a good time and we will be returning for more.

I brought my 14yo son for his first time for red fish. We ended up with numerous red fish, black drum and finished the day with a speckled trout! We had a blast! Bryan is a great captain and will get you on fish! Thanks again!

We had a great time fishing with Brian. We caught a number of Redfish with the biggest being ~27”. Brian was great with everyone and made it a very fun experience. I highly recommend booking with him.

4 Hour Trip - Inshore PM on February 10, 2025

The day we went out wasn't the best- cold, on the verge of rain, and windy. Captain Brian Harris was able to still put us on fish and we all caught fish and had a great time. Would highly recommend him.

4 Hour Trip - Inshore PM on July 30, 2024

Captain Brian was great and knew where the fish were active. Easy to get along with and worked hard in some slow conditions. He was very patient and helped my wife as she is a novice at salt water fishing. We had one of the best times together on our vacation. Thanks again Captain Brian and I hope you get to spend some quality time with your family.
