    Perfect Trip at the Perfect Time

    4 Hour Trip–Inshore/Nearshore (PM) • 4 adults

    There were 4 of us fishing early morning with Brian and we limited out on speckled trout at our first stop! Took less than an hour. The rest of the morning was lagniappe. We had two of our best friends in from Dallas and they were blown away by the catch, the perfect weather and the perfect guide. Brian is thoroughly knowledgeable of the sport, the area, and equally patient, personable and generally a great guy. We fished 5 days after Hurricane Isaias blasted the area from Pensacola east so we didn’t know what to expect, and were thrilled Perdido Key escaped the worst and our trip was still on. Will definitely book Brian again.

    Amazing trip- Even more amazing Captain!

    4 Hour Trip–Inshore/Nearshore (AM) • 2 adults

    SO grateful to have found Capt. Brian! He was awesome!! Super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and worked hard to make sure we had an amazing day on the water! He put us on fish at several different spots and handled the boat like a pro. You can tell he really knows these waters, and when the bite slowed down, he already had us headed to the next spot. What really stood out was how much he cared about making sure we had a great experience. He shared tips along the way and made us feel like we'd been fishing with a friend. If you're looking for a captain who knows how to find fish and make the trip enjoyable, Capt. Brian is your guy. We had an absolute blast and will definitely be booking with him again. Highly recommend!

    Far Exceeded Expectations!

    5 Hour Trip – Red Snapper Offshore • 6 adults

    I can’t recommend Brian with State Line Charters enough! We booked a 5-hour offshore red snapper trip during our family vacation, and it exceeded all of our expectations. Our group included four teenagers (ages 15–16, both boys and girls), and Brian did an outstanding job interacting with everyone, keeping the trip fun, engaging, and enjoyable for all ages. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. The fishing was incredible! We caught more than 30 fish total, and within the first hour we already had 9 of our 12 keepers of red snapper in the cooler. Brian put us right on the fish and made sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for an unforgettable fishing trip, I highly recommend Brian and State Line Charters. We’ll definitely be booking with him again the next time we’re back!

    Awesome inshore trip!

    4 Hour Trip–Inshore/Nearshore (PM) • 2 adults

    My wife and I had an awesome trip with Captain Brian! We were originally scheduled for deep sea but because of wind conditions the captain suggested we switch to inshore. First spot we were hammering redfish, which was awesome. We then switched spots and caught mangrove snapper and flounder. Really fun and great trip and many thanks to captain Brian!
