Member since February 2015 Key West, United States
Background
Captain Brandon, a second-generation Conch and a native to the Florida Keys, is a seasoned mariner whose life has been deeply intertwined with the ocean. Born into a family with a rich fishing heritage, Brandon's connection with the sea began as early as his first steps – some might say even before. He grew up on the decks of fishing boats, learning the intricacies of the trade from his family, absorbing knowledge that only comes from years of experience. His expertise isn't limited to traditional fishing methods; Captain Brandon is also an accomplished spearfisherman and diver. This unique skill set gives him an exceptional edge, as his understanding of the ocean extends below the surface. He knows the underwater terrain as well as the back of his hand, an advantage that allows him to navigate the best fishing spots with unparalleled precision. Brandon's extensive knowledge of the Florida Keys' waters is not just about finding the right spots; it's about understanding the ecosystem and the behavior of different fish species. He has a keen eye for reading the water and weather conditions, ensuring a fruitful and safe expedition for those who board his charter. More than just a captain, Brandon is a storyteller and a custodian of the ocean. He shares his adventures and insights with a touch of local lore, making every fishing trip not just an excursion, but a journey into the heart of the Keys. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, Captain Brandon's guidance and expertise promise an unforgettable experience in one of the world's most beautiful fishing destinations. We cater to all ages and skill levels. It is never a problem for the Captains and the Mates to put their guests on fish - they know how to do it and where to go.
