Captain Brad was born and grew up on a river and was always told by his friends that he should be a captain. He has now been fishing the Florida waters professionally for 17 years around areas such as the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon, the coast line running from Daytona to New Smyrna beach, and offshore deep fishing up to 40 miles. For the last 11 years he has devoted himself full-time to offering guided charters, doing what he loves. He uses all the knowledge he has learnt over the years to make sure you're in with the best possible chance of finding fish.

5 Hour Trip – Offshore • 2 adultsweather restricted our trip but capt brad found the fish and what a day it was. him and his crew made sure our trip was just as epic as an offshore day. the weather didn’t cooperate but it didnt stop captain brad and his first mate from making sure we hooked up on some serious donkeys. we were even surprised with a couple good sized bluefish. 10/10 would recommend and will book again.

Jason SmithSouth Dakota, US•Member since 20265.0VerifiedPersistence paid off
3 Hour Trip – Offshore • 5 adultsWe had a rough day with the fish bite. Lots of fish, but they kept stealing the bait and not taking the hook. Captain Brad and his first mate Ryan were persistent and kept working and changing up their tactics. They even extended our time on the water so we would not leave empty handed. It was an amazing day, and I would highly recommend these guys.
Response from CaptainWe really appreciate you recognizing how hard we try and go out of our way to make everyones trip a memorable one thsnks Jason
