LIVE Action!!!

May 10, 2025 Port St. Joe

The speckled trout are still moving up shallow but the flounder are on the move too. We’ve also found some black sea bass and other species moving in. Fishing should continue to improve and take shape as we transition in summer mode! Call and book YOUR Family’s next adventure!

Spring Swing

Mar 31, 2025 Port St. Joe

The Spring Swing is here! Water is warming up and the fish are moving back up in the bay. Here’s a few pics from today. Double shot of Redfish and several trout with one topping 20”. Hope to see you soon!

Going Coastal

Oct 23, 2024 Port St. Joe

This is what happens when my “Deck Hand” just wants to go Bass fishing with Dad! In true Florida fashion, you just never know what might be on the end of your line! Bass, redfish, black drum, sheepshead, and channel cats in the same afternoon make for a unique mix! Give us a call to enjoy a fall Reel Florida Adventure!

Captain Brian was wonderful with our group. We had experienced fishermen and novices - Brian’s temperament worked well with all of us! He knows the area well and took us to the spots where we had the best chance to catch fish. Weather wasn’t ideal for landing a large haul, but we were able to catch a few fish that made the trip memorable. Thanks so much, Brian - we’ll definitely be back in touch when we return to the area!

If I could give this trip more than 5 stars I would. The day started with weather in the area, and the Captain made sure weather was safe and we were comfortable before heading out. After we arrived at first location, we had some hookups and the first of a few smiles. Later we went to a different area ( ask the captain where when you book your trip). The smiles and fish catching continued there and never ended until we were off the boat! If you are looking to go fish while in... More

If I could give Captain Brian 50 stars I absolutely would! He is very knowledgeable about the waters he fishes and is very attentive to his anglers and his gear. It was kind of an odd day on the water but he quickly called an audible and put us on fish. He was so very easy to work with and my 10 year old son now counts the Captain in as one of his new best friends. Don’t think twice about this charter, JUST BOOK IT!

A laid back but professional captain! A good local guy who just enjoys fishing! We had a blast and caught a load of fish… I bet he had more fun than we did. Absolutely great day. I won’t fish with anyone else ever again..

We can’t recommend highly enough for you to contact Reel Florida Adventures!! Captain Brian was absolutely amazing. We really feel like we lucked out in finding him. He definitely knows where to go, where not to go and how to find the fish. It took us three hours to find the right spot, but boy did we ever and started reeling in the flounder captain. Brian is a native to the area knows the history of the bay and has lots of connections. Don’t hesitate to book your next fishing trip with... More
