Captain Brad was our guide and went above and beyond on the water to achieve a trip of a lifetime! We wanted to specifically target bull reds for this trip. With hot water and a strong tide; it was a slow start. Brad didn’t sit around and wait for the fish to come to us. He was running and gunning to as many spots as possible before landing us on these bull reds. Everyone tagged out, with fishing time still left on the clock. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for great fun filled trip with a very experienced Captain. Brad is very friendly and knowledgeable. We plan on booking with him again.

Booked an early July five hour morning shark trip.  We nearly caught a limit of sheepshead (4/5) near the jetty on our way out.  Also, caught a few lady fish (poor man’s tarpon)- actually a lot of fun as they launched out of the water that we used for shark bait.  Spent the remainder of the trip heading a few miles offshore, where we had a short lull awaiting a hit, then reeled in a feisty blacktip shark to keep.  It was a lot of meat that Brad cleaned for us and both the sheepshead and shark were excellent blackened.  Brad is knowledgeable, helpful, conversational, and works hard to deliver a special sportfishing experience.

Brad is a great host.  Took my wife and 2 boys (12&13) on a 6 hour tour.  We where catching sharks 20min into the trip. Pretty exciting stuff. After we each had a couple catches under our belt we decided to go fish for some good eating.  We got skunked on that adventure but all the other boats had the same luck.  Brad kept us all entertained and kept switching it up to improve our luck. If I make it back to Galveston, I will be scheduling with Seaplay Charters and Brad again.
Oh and his Seaplay hats and shirts are keepers also. Get you one.

We had so much fun pulling up crab traps and setting the traps. We loved the fishing. We showed up and everything was ready to go. Beautiful sunrise while fishing the gulf. Perfect! Richard is a great guide.
