    great time with a great Captain!

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 5 adults

    Captain Brad was a great captain who is very knowledgeable with his boat, tackle and the waters! After some skeptical weather it was decided that we could still make the trip happen and we were fortunate enough to find some schools of Bull Reds that made the trip even more exciting landing those on the boat! Then he took us to some of his favorite spots along the river and even though you can never guarantee landing a catch... those spots did not disappoint! We had a fun boat ride out and back in to the docks. Captain Brad is not only knowledgeable, but is very friendly, honest and courteous to all of us aboard. We're definitely coming back to hear new adventures and fish some of his great spots! Thanks for making this trip memorable Captain Brad and the boys (young men really) had a blast and will talk about this fish story forever!

We really appreciate you trusting us with your trip, and we can’t wait to have you and the guys back aboard for another adventure! God bless! ❤️🎣 — Captain Brad & April

    Brad us hammering fish all day

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    What an awesome experience. From the moment we dropped lines we were hammering speckled trout. Brad knew exactly where to go and how to catch. We limited out and had to toss many back. He also went out of his way to try and catch us some reds. The boat was really well laid out, too to give us each ample space to cast. My mates and I couldn’t have asked for a better day of fishing. Thanks Brad!!!

    Matthew, thank you so much for the incredible review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your crew had such an awesome day on the water with Captain Brad. Hammering trout from the start and limiting out is exactly the kind of experience we love creating for our guests. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation, and we’re glad Captain Brad could make it such a memorable trip for you all. We look forward to having you back out on the bay again soon!

    Great time with Captain Brad

    Half Day Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    We had an amazing experience with Captain Dwayne and Brad. We reeled in plenty of fish and had some wonderful conversations throughout our trip. It was particularly heartwarming to learn about Brad's commitment to his faith and his contributions to his church and community. We would absolutely recommend this Captain to any fellow anglers!

    Thank you so much, Dwayne! It was truly a pleasure spending the day on the water with you. I appreciate your kind words—not only about the fishing but also about our conversations. Being able to share my faith and meet great people like you is one of the biggest blessings of this job. Thank you for trusting me with your trip and for the recommendation. I hope our paths cross again, and I’d love to have y’all back on the bay anytime. God bless! 🎣🙏

    We had so fun with Captain Brad!

    2 Hour Trip – Kids • 2 adults

    We had so much fun fishing with Captain Brad Bishop. It rained but it did not keep us from enjoying our trip.He had a lot of knowledge about the area and where to fish. Captain Brad was friendly and was so great with our grandson. He took us to several fishing spots to be sure we got to catch fish.

Thanks again for trusting me with your trip, and I hope to see y’all back on the bay for another adventure soon. 🎣
