4 Hour Trip – am Shark Fishing

Captain Brad did a phenomenal job putting us on shark and managing the chaos of having three of us fishing at one time. It was exciting and at the same time I felt safe - even holding the sharks. He made us all so comfortable, it felt like fishing with a friend! If you’re looking for a great experience - he’s your guy!

We blasted through the marshes in Gunny B’s excellent in-shore fishing boat, but had terrible luck—still, he kept the lines alive all morning and we were able to take home a couple of souvenirs anyway! Great time!

Very professional and a blast to be around. Capt Brad had us on fish from the start. We’ve fished with him a few times and every trip has been great. We cannot recommend him enough.
