4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)

After booking, Captain Brad contacted us and asked a few questions about what we wanted out of the fishing trip, species of fish we wanted to target, etc. The day before the trip Captain Brad called us with detailed instructions on where and when to meet him. On the day of the trip Captain Brad was there before us, kindly waiting. He knew where all the good fishing spots were. He was a wealth of knowledge- educating us on the water’s ecosystem and what we were seeing. We had a blast! Definitely... More

2 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing

Great time fishing with son

VERIFIED

My 15 year old son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Brad. The fish were not biting early on, but he found another spot where we were reeling them in, so lots of excitement for my son, which is all that mattered to me. Capt Brad kept the trip interesting with our conversations and we all had a good time on the water.

We caught several fish and had a great time. Captain Brad was very helpful with our young daughter. We left with more than enough fish for dinner. I would recommend this trip to any group, and hope to be in town to do it again sometime.

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!
