Capt. Brad has the knowledge and the expertise to put you on the fish.  He has great stories and a comfortable boat.  He’s also super patient (with my mother in law) with inexperienced anglers.  Would def book again.

The heat was super high the day/week we went with Brad so the odds were stacked against us to start with.  Fish were simply not feeding and we were trying to catch the big ones, not a bunch of small fish just to say we could something.  Brad was very knowledgeable and friendly and was trying very hard to get us some fish when nothing was biting for anyone anywhere in the area.  We tried a bunch of areas, saw a bunch of huge fish and tried various techniques to no avail, however the trip was still quite fun and we managed to have a great time anyway.  We chatted with Brad, listened to music, and enjoyed riding on the boat which was very nice and very comfortable with our crew of 6. 

I would choose Captain Brad again next time we are in the area…and hopefully during a cooler time period!  Thanks Brad!

We had a great time with Captain Brad.  He was really good with communicating regarding our trip.  He also shared a lot of knowledge with us on the boat and was easy to get along with.  Capt. Brad was also fair with us when we had to cut the trip short due to bad weather.  I’d definitely book with him again.

We had to reschedule three times due to weather, but Brad’s flexibility kept us in the rotation and got us on the water during our vacation.  When we finally did get out, he tried a number of spots and tactics to cultivate the chance of a good bite.  My youngster caught one of most species during that effort, but the high point was on the way back where Captain Brad kept trying to get us on a big fish. I was already satisfied with the kid having caught some, but his persistence and determination got me hooked to a 32lb jack on the ride back.  It was a blast to fight and land that thing and was the cherry on top of an already good outing!

Capt Brad knew just the right spots where the fish were most likely to be biting and shared his knowledge about the signs to look for. Everyone in our family was able to experience the excitement catching a fish.  We caught multiple redfish and speckled trout, releasing those that didn’t meet the size requirements.  My son caught the biggest fish of the day, a trophy-worthy redfish and had the smile to match!  The most excitement happened at the end of our trip as we were heading back as the Cravelle Jacks began jumping out of the water all around us and Capt Brad stopped the boat threw out a line and immediately hooked one giving everyone in our party the ability to work together to reel it in.  The Cravelle put up a heck of a fight and 15-20 minutes later my husband with help from Capt Brad hauled him in the boat - a whopping 28 pounder!  It was the perfect ending to the perfect evening of fishing for our family!  We had a great time fishing and highly recommend Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters and Capt Brad!  Thank you so much!
