Cruise Fish Dive Reel1Up 

We found Brian on a whim, searching the internet for a charter. Brian did not disappoint. He brought us to two different spots with a lovely boat ride in between. My sons are intermediate (probably closer to novice) fishermen-don’t tell them I said so lol. Brian had the utmost patience in explaining and teaching the boys how to catch fish, bait their lines, and cast correctly. My son wanted to catch a monster snook, and snagging that monster snook was no doubt due to Brian’s patience and expertise. During our charter we probably caught close to 30 fish (probably more), it was non stop action. And these were not small fish, mostly snook and a few other species in between. If you want to catch a ton of fish and get a good lesson on all the ins and outs of salt water fishing, go with Brian. You’ll be just as happy as we are, that you did ❤️.

If you want to actually catch fish, relax, and have a genuinely great time on the water, this is exactly it. From the start, the focus was on making sure everyone was engaged, learning, and reeling something in. No pressure, no ego-just a fun, easygoing atmosphere where Captain Brian clearly cared more about the experience than the size of the catch. And honestly, that made it better. We caught plenty of fish, stayed busy, and had a lot of laughs along the way. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and knew how to keep things moving so nobody was just sitting around waiting. Whether you’re experienced or brand new, they meet you where you are and make sure you enjoy it. At the end of the day, we left with great memories, plenty of action, and zero stress about who caught the biggest fish. That’s a win in my book. Highly recommend if you want a fun, laid-back fishing trip that delivers.

Captain Brian was excellent!!! Communication prior to trip with meeting location, time and details were appreciated. He was excellent with our kids (16,15,14) Captian Brian was thorough at explaining things and so fun to be around. I particularly appreciate that he was family oriented and worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoyed the trip. He targeted specific areas to catch different species and we had great success! Our family really enjoyed our trip and would certainly look them up again when we’re in town and looking for a charter.

1st, shout out to Captain Brian. He was so great. This was our first fishing trip and he totally led us through a day of fun. My husband and our 20 year old son had the best Christmas gift spending 5 hours on the water, catching fish and learning a lot of valuable knowledge. Great experience for the money. All the dolphins were an unexpected surprise for this Momma.

Caught 9 different species (38 total) during our 6 hour back bay trip. Captain Barry keeps you baited, good conversation and moves areas if the bite dies or isn’t happening. Follow his instructions and you’ll be fine. Both of us are experienced anglers so we made it a easy day for him.
