- Background
- 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.
- Techniques
- Capt. Brad loves artificial lure fishing the most ,but he loves live bait fishing as well especially when the bite is down. He finds having the right bait and presentation is the most important aspect of fishing.

I took my 13 year old grandson fishing for his first time. Captain Brad was very patient and showed him how to hold the rod and cast the line. By the end of our short trip he was able to cast with confidence. He even reeled in 3 fish and had a good experience. We will go back out with Captian Brad in the near future.

Thank you Dan for giving me the opportunity, had a great time with you hope to see you in the future as always seasons change here so do several types of fishing I offer during those times ,so next if its a different time of year we could target something different or if its the same time of year lets go back to hunting those redfish one of my favorites till then tight lines safe travels my friend ,Capt. Brad

After 2 days of steady rain the Captain was still able to put us on fish. Caught very nice “reds” on a tough bite. Couldn’t of asked for a better outing. Thanks to Captain Brad for a fun and fruitful time. If you want to catch fish this is the charter to book. Good luck fishing and keep a tight line.

I know they call it fishing, not catching, but my freinds and I caught caught caught. I’m actually a pretty avid fisherman myself and from what I know, his setups ( rods,reels) are top of the line equipment. Captain Brad had us laughing the entire time. Great personality. Will be booking another backwater trip very soon!
