Captain Bryce Schmidt has fished the waters surrounding Florida his entire life. He is very keen on sharing this experience with other people as they’re both passionate anglers and involved in making sure your trips with them are as fun and exciting as possible.
Climb aboard the 24’ Triton center console, powered by a 225 HP Yamaha outboard engine. The vessel is capable of holding 5 anglers at the same time comfortably. It’s capable of developing a maximum cruising speed of up to 52 knots, allowing you to get to the fishing grounds in no time. It comes equipped with outriggers for trolling, as well as a full suite of electronics for finding the fish.
You will go after a very mixed batch of species on this charter, ensuring every trip is different and more memorable than the last one. Amberjack, Black Drum, Redfish, Cobia, Tarpon, sharks, and other exciting prey are targeted. The techniques used will mainly be bottom fishing and trolling.
All of the equipment required is provided by the charter, quality-recognized brands such as Penn and Shimano. Live bait is provided for the customers at no additional price on the trips. Schmidt Happens Fishing is a child-friendly charter and while there is no minimum age for children, Captain Eric recommends that they be 3 years or older. They provide vests in all sizes, as well as all required safety items as per Coast Guard standards.

6 hour Trip - Inshore/Offshore
Cpt. Bryce is a great guide. Lots of local fishing knowledge. He put us on the fish at every spot. We had a great time trading funny life stories all while reeling in tons of big fish. If you want to go fishing with someone that has a ton of knowledge and also feels like a fishing buddy you have known your whole life, Cpt Bryce is your guide. We will be back on his boat hopefully very soon.

Half Day Trip - Inshore AM
Conditions weren’t great, but Capt Bryce was awesome! He was determined to find my boys some fish and finally put us on some after fighting wind coming with a weather system off the coast. We caught a few big rays and a couple of sharks. Would highly recommend and will definitely reach back out on our next vacation.

This was our second time taking a fishing charter and it too was a great time. Though the fish was as cooperative as we would have liked that was in no way a reflection on the captain and we still all caught a fish and had a good time. Would definitely recommend that you book with Captain Bryce.
