Southpaw Fishing Charters
Southpaw Fishing Charters
Kaptein Brad Simonds eier og driver Southpaw Fishing Charters. Han tar deg med på spennende fisketurer om bord i en 43' spesialbygd Torres Sportfisher, konstruert i 2002 av Claude Torres, en anerkjent båtbygger. Båten er drevet av en 700 HK Lugger dieselmotor og er utstyrt med en komplett pakke av navigasjons- og marinelektronikk. Dette inkluderer GPS/kartplotter, flere ekkolodd og dybdemålere, flere VHF-radioer, og radar fra Northstar og Simrad.
Fartøyets to-etasjes levende agnsystem gjør det mulig for mannskapet å opprettholde store mengder levende agn gjennom hele turen. Inne i kahytten er det et komfortabelt sitteområde rundt en dinette og en romslig polstret benk.
Et av Southpaws mest fremtredende funksjoner er tunafisketårnet, som mannskapet benytter til en rekke fisketeknikker gjennom hele året, og som de mener gir dem et fortrinn over mange av konkurrentene som ikke har et tårn om bord.
Født og oppvokst i Massachusetts, begynte kaptein Brad å jobbe som kaptein for over 30 år siden, og styrte en 55' Holton ut av Key Largo, og tilbrakte vårmånedene på Yucatan-halvøya. Etter å ha vært ved roret på flere private og bedriftseide fisketurer, bestemte Brad seg for å gå selvstendig og startet Southpaw Fishing Charters i 2002.
Southpaw-mannskapet spesialiserer seg på lett fiskeutstyr med levende agn, trolling, dragefiske, bunnfiske og vrakfiske etter en rekke pelagiske fiskearter og stedegne sportsfiskearter i området. Disse inkluderer nebbfisk, tunfisk, Mahi Mahi, kongemakrell, snapper, grouper og mange andre.
Skreddersydde fisketurer kan også organiseres på forespørsel, som for eksempel fluefiske i blåvannet, dragefiske med levende agn, turneringssportsfiske, nattturer etter snapper eller sverdfisk, samt fiskeekskursjoner til Tortugas og andre langturer.

Shannon Nelson5.0VERIFISERTFantastic day
Heldagstur den August 4, 2026 • 3 voksneI would encourage anyone looking to go out with a family to consider southpaw. The pictures don’t really show it but the boat is set up super nice. My wife appreciated that there was a bathroom and you can sit in the shade at “the kitchen table” and watch the rods or watch your son or anyone else reel in a fish. I don’t really know how else to explain it other than it’s very well thought out. The captain definitely kept us on top of the fish but I can’t say enough about the first mate James. He was amazing. He worked his tail off for us and watched the lines like a hawk. When we did catch a fish he called out fish on and when we had brought it in he got the fish on ice and he had the lines re baited and out in record time. He was truly committed to making sure we got the most of our time. I cannot recommend them enough.
Quinton Bailey5.0VERIFISERTUnforgettable Experience
3/4 dagstur den November 13, 2025 • 2 voksneCaptain Brad and James were organized, tactical and hardworking - made for a successful and unforgettable trip. Choppy water but they made us feel very safe. Put us on 3 sailfish and caught plenty of eaters too. Could have brought us back to shore but fished to the last minute hunting down the 3rd sailfish. Sushi at the docks (incredible), filleted our fish, offered pictures, gave restaurant recommendations, gave us the leader of the first sailfish we ever caught - lots of attention to detail that made it excellent. James is incredibly hardworking and patient with all our questions…. Will be coming back!
Sten Gustafson5.0VERIFISERTCapt. Travis is awesome! Non-stop action
3/4 dagstur den July 3, 2026 • 4 voksneCapt. Travis is one of the best fishing guides I've ever used (and I've used a lot). Great attitude and demeanor. He asked us what we were looking to catch, and he delivered tremendous fishing action for every kind of fish we were looking for (snapper, grouper, sharks) immediately the moment we pulled up to each spot. My son and nephews had a blast, and were wondering about whether we could come back soon. Highly recommend!
Gene Kittredge5.0VERIFISERTAnother awesome experience!
Heldagstur den August 12, 2026 • 3 voksneThis is the second time I booked with Southpaw charter and just as the first time, it did not disappoint. We caught 14 Mahi and a very nice black grouper. Captain Brad and his helper James were very friendly,helpful and patient throughout the trip. They had lots of helpful tips on properly storing and caring for the fish afterwards. I would not hesitate on booking with them.
Deborah CominskiGjentakende fisker5.0VERIFISERTOutstanding
3/4 dagstur den July 6, 2026 • 2 voksneEveryone was complaining that they weren’t catching any fish. Captain Brad and first mate, James did not disappoint. James kept 7 plus lines going effortlessly and we caught seven different kinds of fish from red snapper to Mahi Mahi. Took it to a restaurant and ate it same day and shared it with the restaurant staff. Nothing like it. Melt in your mouth fish! Thanks Captain Brad and James!!
Lawrence Melanson5.0VERIFISERTGreat Boat. Great Crew.
Halvdagstur den June 6, 2026 • 4 voksneCapt. James and First Mate Jameson were awesome. Boat was clean and organized. Gear was top notch. The fish cooperated. Trolled for Mahi Mahi. At one point, three on at once. Jameson was ready with spinning gear if other fish followed the first one in. Jameson was great with our special needs son. They cleaned, filleted and bagged our catch. Highly recommend Southpaw Fishing.
Abby SmithGjentakende fisker5.0VERIFISERTBetter than expected!
3/4 dagstur den June 3, 2026 • 3 voksne • 1 barnWe went on this fishing trip with our 9 Yr old son who loves fishing. He said it was better than he thought it would be! Brad and Jameson were awesome! They took the time to answer all of his questions and let him help! We caught a lot of Mahi Mahi! We would definitely recommend this charter to anyone!

Halvdagstur den May 7, 2026 • 2 voksneI have fished with Captain Brad when in Key West over the past 20yrs, In my opinion he is best Captain I have ever fished with and we always catch a great variety of fish. We fished May 6th and 7th and have 40lbs of fillets to bring home. Caught a sailfish this trip, snappers, mahi mahi are just some this trip.
Michael Beres5.0VERIFISERTAttention to Detail
Heldagstur den January 4, 2026 • 4 voksneCapt. Brad runs a top notch charter. His ship was extremely clean. He goes to great lengths to help you catch what you are looking for. In our case it was sailfish. We had a very successful trip. Also cannot say enough about first mate James. He was on top of line placment and didnt mind answering our children’s questions. I would highly recommend taking your children on Southpaw. We look forward to doing this again!

Everything from the Captain, first mate, the boat, the fishing equipment, and all things in-between was fantastic. James, the first mate, was informative and very kind to a number of our first timers. The Captain knew exactly where to go to catch our bait fish and sailfish. About ten minutes in fishing we hooked a sailfish. After about 30ish minutes we landed it. Captain Brad called the day before to confirm everything, provide info about the conditions, and made sure we knew how to find his boat at the marina. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend.
