Captain Brad knew where to find the fish we caught multiple tarpon. We caught 9 pound jack. We caught lots of catfish some lady fish. I also caught an 14 inch mangrove snapper that Captain Brad filleted, and cleaned for us to take home and we also caught a snook. Our captain was very knowledgeable, very friendly and told us lots and lots of great stories. We made A lot of memories with the family.

Captain Brad was a great guide with a wealth of knowledge. The trip was private to our family, which is exactly what we wanted. We caught enough fish for a couple of meals, which Brad cleaned for us. The trip provided the perfect blend between a bit of sports fishing (catch and release) and catching dinner! We will definitely book with him again, for our next visit to the Punta Gorda/ Port Charlotte area. All thumbs up!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🩷😎

Experiences freshwater fisherman on our first saltwater trip. We would have been content with anything. Landed a 50ish pound tarpon and immediately exceeded all expectations! Also caught a couple catfish, a ladyfish, several snook, and several snappers. Great half day on the water. It was clearly not an “easy” day, but Captain Brad knew how to find the fish, and he was a great coach for the saltwater rookies. We would go back immediately.

My family had an exceptional experience with Captain Brad Batz. He gave us not only a fun fishing trip, but also gave us a continuous description of the areas of the harbor and the types of fish we were likely to encounter in each area. We didn’t catch many fish due to bad weather and the trip got cut short, however, Brad was most concerned with our safety. He gave us the option of waiting out the weather or stopping and paying for half a trip. We are going out again in a few weeks hopefully... Mehr

Captain Brad is an extremely knowledgeable fisherman, a capable seaman, and a great all-around human being!!  We caught our first ever tarpon today and were thrilled.  This man will do everything possible to put you on fish! I highly recommend Captain Brad Batz.
