Captain Brendan Champagne has been fishing his whole life, and there's hardly anything he'd rather do instead. There's nothing he likes more than being outdoors, rod in hand, and catching some big fish. He's always ready and willing to share some of his trips and tricks with guests who are eager to learn.

    Half Day Trip with Capt Brendan

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 2 voksne

    My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our fishing experience with Capt Brendan Champagne. He checked in on us ahead of time to inform us what we would need to bring and even asked if we would be interested to advance the start time of our charter by several hours to align with the striper’s local feeding behavior. We really enjoyed Brendan. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and an absolute joy to spend the trip with. You can’t go wrong. And yes we caught A LOT of striped bass (about 2 dozen total) but since we weren’t staying we released everything we caught. Thanks Brendan for a great experience!

    Morning trip

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 3 voksne

    Excellent experience! Brandan was awesome from the beginning. He called the day before asking if we would want to come an hour earlier because the morning bite was good, so we did. As soon as we got to his first spot, we started catching fish, we caught a lot in the 18 to 22 inch range to start, all using artificial lures. We caught enough fish that we tried switching it up just to have fun, I tried some top water fishing and had some fish hit but never hooked up, while our friend tried some flies that branden hand tied. He caught his first ever striper on a fly rod and branden even let him keep the fly! After we were set fishing for the smaller fish, we went and grabbed some live bait and hit some other spots looking for bigger fish. Unfortunately we didn't land and slobs, but we got a couple over 24 inches and had some big ones get off. The action was pretty good beginning to end and I have nothing bad to say about the trip.

    Half day morning with Champagne Charters

    Halvdagstur (AM) • 2 voksne

    Our half day trip with Brendan was outstanding!! We caught fish all morning, on lures, flies, and live bait. This was my second year going with Champagne Charters and I am convinced he’s the best. Great fishing, great conversation, and we learned more about fishing stripers. Highly recommend him!!

    I had an amazing experience with captain Brendan. Not even 20 minutes into the trip both me and my mother were pulling in 21 inch stripers, being complete beginners. Not only did Brendan show us how to fish for striper, he told us a lot about the wildlife surrounding the area. We saw a bald eagle, seals, and many birds. Watching the sunset and fishing until almost dark was a once in a lifetime expierence. Definately coming back to fish with Brendan.

    Fishing has been outstanding in the freeport area over the past week and only continues to get better!!! Big numbers of sschoolies have been easy to come by and the larger fish are becoming more and more common every trip. Tonight was one of the first bait focused trips of the season and we were able to land over 20 fish in the 25-30" range on live macrele as well as a few smaller fish on top water lures at the end of the night!
