4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults • 1 childI took my 12-year-old daughter out and couldn’t ask for a better Captain. Let’s just say the universe provided a wonderful day and the perfect Captain for her and I. I will definitely be booking again with Captain Brad. No questions there five star all the way around.
Response from CaptainThank you so much. Looking forward to seeing you guys again!

4 Hour Flats boat 2ppl • 2 adultsBrad made everything super simple and easy for us. He had a very mellow and chill personality and was there to assist us and answer any questions we had without making us feel dumb or akward. You can tell he knows the waters well where we fished and we were on them all day!

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 2 adultsBrad was great and we learned a good bit about the area’s type of fish. We caught some little sharks and a small hammerhead. All in all it was a nice morning on the water.

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 2 adults • 1 childMy son has always wanted to hookup with a keeper red, and Capt Brad made it happen. He got us to some solid locations and gave us some advice on techniques and it paid off. As my son hooked into a very nice red he exclaimed “Well that’s not a bass!” Thanks Captain. We will see you again!
Response from Captainthank you guys so much for coming. Had a great time with you guys! Looking forward to seeing you again.
