Bryan was an excellent guide. We asked to catch fish that we could eat and we did just that! Very accommodating. Ashley was prompt on returning messages and sending directions to the landing. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We had an excellent day and a wonderful dinner of fish that evening.
Thanks Jeff it was great meeting you all! I look forward to fishing with you guys again soon
I went out with Bryan today on what was supposed to be an inshore charter, but the weather decided not to be very cooperative. We were targeting snook and redfish and were on the school almost immediately, but they weren’t hitting our bait or any of the other boats’ bait. I’ve been on charters before where the fish just don’t want to cooperate, but usually there isn’t a good plan B. You’re either hitting smaller fish or moving around constantly trying to find a yet undiscovered spot. Bryan presented the option of heading offshore to target reef fish like cobia and snapper after an hour of fruitless snook fishing and I took him up on it. After a run offshore, we dropped bait and were almost immediately hooked up with a pair of cobia, both of which unfortunately became gifts for our shark friends below as we reeled them in. After a bit of practice and luck, I was able to get a snapper in the boat and away from the sharks and proceeded to catch a dozen or so good eating fish, including a triggerfish, during the couple hours we had left on our charter. When we returned to the inlet, only a handful of inshore fish had been caught by half a dozen other boats, so I was happy we made the right choice to go out to the reefs and that Bryan suggested it once he got a feel for the fishing today.

Thanks for the review. It was great meeting you and look forward to the next trip when your back in town
Bryan did a great job hunting the fish down for us. His knowledge about the fish and their habits caught us a nice Cobia! He went beyond what was necessary to make the day a success! Thanks Bryan!
Gale it was great to meet you and your wife, I appreciate the great review see you all next time!
This is the second time I have gone out with Captain Bryan and I can’t wait to go out again. He has a great knowledge of whatever fish you are targeting and he always gets you on the fish.
He works hard to make sure you have a great day. While other boats are hoping to find the fish, Captain Bryan finds them and then it is your job to getting them to the boat.
Two trips and two great days. If you are looking for a great day of fishing Captain Bryan and the Southern Thunder is your go to!
