Thanks for coming aboard, had a great time!
A great day on the water with Capt Michael. Knowledgeable guide, methodical approach and somehow knows where the fish are. Our trip had too much wind and was not too long after a recent tropical storm come through so normal fishing patterns were off. It didnโt stop Capt Michael we still found and caught fish. More than any other boat on the water that day.
Fishing the flats is a great trip and Capt Michael gets into his high chair and can literally direct you where the fish are because he can see them. Really a great trip if youโve never done it. Iโd caught my first Black Drum on this trip so crossing that one of my list.
I was amazed twice on this trip. First was when we stop at a spot and were told to cast into an area because thereโs Red Drum that run through thereโฆsure enough my buddy hooked one right awayโฆfirst cast. Second was cruising to a new spot we suddenly stop and Capt Michael says letโs take a minute and try this spot and see if we can get some Black Drum. Really? the thought crosses his mind to stop the boat and cast into an area for Black Drum? Okay. Iโm out here fishing I donโt care what I catch but to call the fish like that?!?!? First castโฆbites and lost bait. Second castโฆbiggest fish of the day and you guessed itโฆa Black Drum!
Capt Michael would be great for experienced anglers and those looking to introduce their kids to the fun of fishing. An all-around great day on the water.
Thank you Michael! Hope to see you next year!

Great day of fishing. My family and I are from Maryland and booked Brannin Charters on vacation. We caught a variety of fish; red drum, black drum and trout. Captain Michael Brannin was a great captain and gave us a great experience. If we are back in the Wilmington area we will book his charter service again!
Recently chartered Brannin charters with my family. It was a great experience, we caught a large mix of redfish, flounder, and speckled trout. The captain was very patient with the younger kids and even spent extra time on the water with us to show us more areas and let us get the full experience.
