Background
Hop aboard a 2024 Sportsman 252 with Capt. Branden for a smooth, comfortable, and action-packed day on the waters of Key Biscayne, Florida. Born and raised in Miami, Capt. Branden knows these waters inside and out. With over 12 years of experience, a U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license, and as a PADI certified diver, he understands fish behavior and structure both above and below the surface—giving you a serious edge when it comes to finding fish. Target species include Snapper, Grouper, Kingfish, Spanish Mackerel, Yellowtail, Amberjack, and more depending on the season. Whether you’re looking for steady action, your first catch, or a full day on the water, every trip is tailored to your group. From beginners to experienced anglers, Capt. Branden keeps things fun, hands-on, and productive. If you’re looking for a clean boat, strong fishing, and a captain who knows how to put you on fish, this is the trip.
Techniques
Capt. Branden specializes in a variety of techniques tailored to the season, location, and target species. For inshore and nearshore trips, he uses bottom fishing and reef techniques to target Snapper, Amberjack, Grouper, Yellowtail, and Kingfish, ensuring a steady action and a fun experience for all skill levels. When chasing the thrill of big offshore game, Branden combines trolling and drift fishing to target Mahi-Mahi and Tuna, carefully selecting bait and lures to maximize your chances of a trophy catch. Whether you’re a first-time angler or an experienced fisherman, the approach is flexible, hands-on, and guest-focused, allowing everyone to participate and learn. Special requests like spearfishing can also be accommodated, ensuring a fully customized adventure. Each technique is executed with safety, precision, and a deep knowledge of local waters to make your day on the water productive, exciting, and memorable.
