  Fishing with Brian

  Full Day Trip on September 21, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Brian is the best. Fun, experienced, knowledgeable. Both trips we’ve taken with him were successful and a blast. Will definitely book with him again next time we’re in Florida.

  Half Day Trip (PM) on February 1, 2024 • 3 adults

  We had a great day of fishing with Brian on Feb 1. Brian was a great communicator and knowledgeable of the entire Tampa Bay Area. We successfully caught fish at every spot and had a wonderful day relaxing and enjoying our time on the water. We also got to see dolphins, manatees, sting rays, and sharks! I will definitely book again with Brian and Optimus Fishing next time we're back in Tampa, and highly recommend to everyone!

  From start to finish Captain Brian gave us a great experience. He was knowledgeable, kind, and engaging for the entire trip. My son and I went out and he said he gets great joy to see a father and son do things like this. He truly went above the call of duty to ensure our trip was a success and we will use him again in the future. I promise you will not find a better deal nor a better experience.
