Experiences freshwater fisherman on our first saltwater trip. We would have been content with anything. Landed a 50ish pound tarpon and immediately exceeded all expectations! Also caught a couple catfish, a ladyfish, several snook, and several snappers. Great half day on the water. It was clearly not an “easy” day, but Captain Brad knew how to find the fish, and he was a great coach for the saltwater rookies. We would go back immediately.

My family had an exceptional experience with Captain Brad Batz. He gave us not only a fun fishing trip, but also gave us a continuous description of the areas of the harbor and the types of fish we were likely to encounter in each area. We didn’t catch many fish due to bad weather and the trip got cut short, however, Brad was most concerned with our safety. He gave us the option of waiting out the weather or stopping and paying for half a trip. We are going out again in a few weeks hopefully... More

Captain Brad was a great guide. We caught so many different types of fish! Trout, snapper, puffer fish, lady fish, sheeps head, and our biggest catch : a 17 inch pompano! My son was thrilled. Brad had some incredible stories. My favorite thing about fishing with Brad was how excited he was about every fish! Fun times! Highly recommend!

I have three teenagers who love to fish.  Brad has the heart of a teacher as he instructed my kids on expectations and how to properly handle the fish in the waters in port charlotte.  We had an awesome day and made special memories.  I would choose him as a Captain any day of the week!  He is as good as advertised!
