James DavisRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCatch of a lifetime
6 Hour Trip –Big Game Shark Fishing • 7 adults • 5 childrenBrandon was great from the beginning. Rods were already set up and ready to roll when we got there. We were able to watch him deploy the big shark rods by drones which the boys loved and he explained everything in great detail to them as well as showed them how to operate every rod and and answered all their questions. He kept the rods out and loaded with fresh bait the whole trip. He never stopped and we ended up landing a huge tarpon. A personal bucket list fish for myself. I would highly recommend him to anyone for a beach fishing trip.

Robin Goshe5.0Verifiedvery good learning experience very good
4 Hour Trip – Beach Casting • 10 adultsCaptain Brandon and his crew were excellent. They were baiting those lines as quickly as possible after a catch. We hooked a black shark, but we weren’t experienced enough to get him but we still were very excited about the one that got away. My six-year-old great grandson out fished us all. And reeled and 10 fish!!! thank you Captain Brandon for an excellent outing for my family during our family reunion! When we return, I will be booking with you again
Response from CaptainAppreciate the review Robin, thanks again for booking!
Michael CoxRepeat angler5.0VerifiedIncredible beach fishing
4 Hour Trip – Beach Casting • 1 adultAbsolutely incredible experience fishing for sharks and other fish with Brandon. An amazing guide who worked his butt off to make things happen. Caught lots of small fish as well as 3 sharks. Also lost a tarpon and a huge shark due to being a wimpy English man. Would recommend to anyone who want to target big fish from the beach. Big tip: listen to Brandon on location and timings as he is the expert!
Response from CaptainPleasure fishing with you Michael! We will land the big one next time!

Felipe Le Cato5.0Verifiedamazing time - Brandon is awesome
3 Hour sunrise/sunset Beach Casting • 3 adults • 2 childrentook my younger sons fishing with Brandon, he is an amazing fisherman with vast knowledge and experience. Brandon showed my sons how to fish effectively, with each catch provided details on the fish and its attributes on how to dehook for catch and release. The one's we did keep were excellent and my youngest son is ready to return. Highly recommend fishing with Brandon.

What's biting with Florida Man Surf Fishing – Jacksonville in Jacksonville
In October, there are two words on the lips of every angler in Jacksonville: Bull Redfish. Big Reds are spawning in the flats - watch out for their spotted tails as you pole or wade towards them and practice your cast.

NONSTOP FISH CATCHING
Mar 29, 2025 • Jacksonville
Fished two trips this day. One at sunrise near Ponte Vedra, and another at sunset on Amelia Island. Both trips were nearly non stop action from the get go. The morning started off with a few catfish but quickly switched to many whiting, a few bluefish, and some bonnethead sharks. The evening trip was a multi species smorgasboard starting off with a big black drum, pompano, and HUGE whiting. The water is heating up and so is the fishing!

4 HOURS OF NONSTOP ACTION
Feb 24, 2025 • Jacksonville
Had a group of guys eager to fish after their boat charter get canceled due to weather. We hit the beach and put a smackdown on large whiting. Non stop action the entire trip and they ended up with around 4lbs of cleaned fillets after it was all said and done. Shark fishing is starting to heat up as well. The following day on a personal outing, my wife landed a GIANT sand tiger shark. Fishing is great and only going to get better as the weather and water continues to warm up.
