Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters 

Captain Brad was a great captain who is very knowledgeable with his boat, tackle and the waters! After some skeptical weather it was decided that we could still make the trip happen and we were fortunate enough to find some schools of Bull Reds that made the trip even more exciting landing those on the boat! Then he took us to some of his favorite spots along the river and even though you can never guarantee landing a catch... those spots did not disappoint! We had a fun boat ride out and back in to the docks. Captain Brad is not only knowledgeable, but is very friendly, honest and courteous to all of us aboard. We're definitely coming back to hear new adventures and fish some of his great spots! Thanks for making this trip memorable Captain Brad and the boys (young men really) had a blast and will talk about this fish story forever!

What an awesome experience. From the moment we dropped lines we were hammering speckled trout. Brad knew exactly where to go and how to catch. We limited out and had to toss many back. He also went out of his way to try and catch us some reds. The boat was really well laid out, too to give us each ample space to cast. My mates and I couldn’t have asked for a better day of fishing. Thanks Brad!!!

We had so much fun fishing with Captain Brad Bishop. It rained but it did not keep us from enjoying our trip.He had a lot of knowledge about the area and where to fish. Captain Brad was friendly and was so great with our grandson. He took us to several fishing spots to be sure we got to catch fish.

Highly recommend captain Brad. Great guy, put us on fish from start to end. Brad knows the area very well with lots experience. My wife and I look forward to fishing with Capt. Brad again. Anyone looking for a great day on the water with bonus limits of fish.

fun day on the water with my son and Captain Brad. This was our 3rd charter with him. Always so personable and great wirh my son . would highly recommend him.

Capt. Brad has the knowledge and the expertise to put you on the fish. He has great stories and a comfortable boat. He’s also super patient (with my mother in law) with inexperienced anglers. Would def book again.

Capt Brad knew just the right spots where the fish were most likely to be biting and shared his knowledge about the signs to look for. Everyone in our family was able to experience the excitement catching a fish. We caught multiple redfish and speckled trout, releasing those that didn’t meet the size requirements. My son caught the biggest fish of the day, a trophy-worthy redfish and had the smile to match! The most excitement happened at the end of our trip as we were heading back as the Cravelle Jacks began jumping out of the water all around us and Capt Brad stopped the boat threw out a line and immediately hooked one giving everyone in our party the ability to work together to reel it in. The Cravelle put up a heck of a fight and 15-20 minutes later my husband with help from Capt Brad hauled him in the boat - a whopping 28 pounder! It was the perfect ending to the perfect evening of fishing for our family! We had a great time fishing and highly recommend Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters and Capt Brad! Thank you so much!

This was our second fishing trip with Captain Brad. We had an awesome experience in August, so we decided to go again in April. It was a really windy day and the fish weren’t biting well. Some of Captain Brad’s favorite spots were too rough to fish, so he took us to several spots that were more protected from the wind. One lake surrounded by marsh grass proved to be one of the best spots. It was accessed by a small channel that was barely bigger than the boat, but Brad made it look easy. We caught several little reds, and a couple of specks there. He caught a few small mullet with a cast net in the small channel. We tried to catch some bigger fish with those, but that did not work out. Then, we found a couple of pelicans that were diving for fish, so we fished with them. We caught a couple more little reds and several catfish. When we left that spot, we tried for bigger bull reds, but we were unable to catch any. At the end of the trip, we got soaked from the waves produced by the high winds. It was a blast. It was another memorable fishing trip for my son and I. We caught 11 fish total. One speckled trout was a keeper that turned into dinner. Thanks, Captain Brad, for making the trip entertaining. Even during the slow times, it was never boring. When you fish with Captain Brad, ask him about the time that two bucks made him think he was being attacked by Bigfoot!

My 2 grandsons and I had a great day on the water with Captain Brad. He was very patient and professional. He worked hard to put us on the fish. I would highly recommend fishing with him.
