About Your Guide

With over a decade of hands-on experience, Captains Brad and Luke are well-versed in Florida’s vibrant fishing community. Rather than favoring a singular fishing method, they pride themselves on being versatile anglers, skilled in a variety of techniques to catch fish. Regardless of how you like to fish, they are eager to share valuable advice and insights they've gathered from years on the water.

We joined Brad and Ben for a morning fishing trip, being new to the sport. Both guides patiently taught us all the essentials, making it an enjoyable outing for my children and me. We had such an exceptional experience that we’re already planning to return!

The day with Brad and Ben was the highlight of our fishing adventures—they expertly located the fish and ensured we had a fantastic time. Their knowledge and attentiveness stood out, and we highly recommend their services. We will definitely book again. The entire experience was top-notch, deserving five stars!

My 81-year-old father, my two sons (25 and 24), and I (57) had an unforgettable first-time fishing trip. We caught an impressive variety of fish, and I was truly impressed with Brad and Ben’s professionalism, humor, and care—especially in tending to my elderly father. They educated us on the fish species and fishing techniques, showed us how to clean our catch, and even pointed us toward the best spots to have our fish cooked. The result was the most delicious meal we’ve ever enjoyed. I enthusiastically recommend them and look forward to another amazing outing.

Our family’s fishing excursion was nothing short of spectacular. The captain and Ben were fantastic, especially accommodating to our children. We landed some sizable groupers and relished the thrill of pursuing larger fish. I wholeheartedly suggest this trip to anyone interested in a rewarding fishing experience.

Yesterday, we had a fantastic journey with Captain Brad and Skylar. We caught several groupers and spotted dolphins along the way. The team was great with the kids and frequently relocated us to keep the catches coming. For anyone wanting to explore deep-sea fishing near Clearwater, this company is a top choice—and we’ll certainly be back.

The day passed quickly, filled with fun and great fishing. The crew and boat were excellent, making for a super outing. My friend and I took our dads out for Father’s Day, catching plenty of meat fish and even a shark. This remarkable trip comes highly recommended by us all. The knowledgeable staff ensured our group had a fantastic time, making this charter an ideal choice for anyone seeking a memorable fishing adventure.

Booking with these captains is truly an experience of a lifetime. From the beginning, their professionalism, clear communication, and thorough preparations impressed us. We met dockside early, where the guides provided detailed instructions and advice on what to bring. The staff followed up with us beforehand, so everyone was well-prepared.

Our group of six, including adults and children, brought our own food and drinks, allowing the guides to focus entirely on fishing. The boat, a 33-foot fiberglass vessel equipped with twin Suzuki engines and advanced electronics, ensured a comfortable and safe journey. It featured ample storage, live-wells packed with ice, and cozy bean bags for relaxing while underway.

We ventured 24 miles off Clearwater’s shore into a breathtaking open ocean where wildlife abounded. The guides kept everything well-organized and managed the boat’s balance and deck space expertly. Equipment was in excellent condition, and the team handled all aspects of baiting, rigging, and handling the catch with skill.

My wife had two goals: to catch fish for dinner and to land the largest one possible. Both were achieved. We initially targeted Amberjack but shifted focus when the bite slowed, catching a bounty of fish like Porgy, Hogfish, Red Snapper, and Grunts, among others. Some unique catches included Lizardfish, Remora, and Blowfish, which were sometimes used as bait for the bigger fish we sought later.

Returning to the artificial reef near a sunken ship, we set out to catch large Amberjack in 80 feet of water. The guides displayed remarkable coordination and expertise, switching tactics quickly and effectively. They offered precise bait choices until they struck the perfect one to “switch on” the Amberjack. We soon reeled in some massive specimens, huge enough to amaze anyone familiar with fishing.

One unforgettable moment was when my wife battled the day’s biggest Amberjack—a thrilling fight lasting several minutes. Just as the fish neared the boat, two enormous sharks appeared and took dramatic bites out of it. The stark, cartoon-like bite marks amazed us all. Despite the feeding frenzy, the guides safely landed the fish, and we released it back, creating a spectacular wildlife display we’ll never forget.

The journey back was equally impressive, with encounters featuring dolphins, sea turtles, and other fascinating marine life. The guides then cleaned and labeled all our fish, enhancing our appreciation of the day’s catch. Our family, who usually travels with a “no expectations” mindset, was blown away by this extraordinary adventure. If you want an exceptional day on the water, book with confidence—Captains Brad and Luke deliver unforgettable experiences every time.

Even though Amberjack was out of season, I had an intense battle with a 42-inch specimen, which was a highlight reel of its own. I can’t recommend this charter enough. Seriously, salute to these captains!

We enjoyed an excellent fishing trip in Clearwater with Captains Brett and Luke, two knowledgeable professionals who got us onto some feisty King Mackerel. The excitement of the fight made the experience truly memorable. Brad’s friendliness and expertise were evident throughout, and he went above and beyond to help us catch plenty of fish—making for an awesome day on the water.

Our group, including two octogenarians, felt well supported as Captain Brad skillfully tailored the trip to our pace. Brad and Skylar provided a wonderful day for me and my grandkids, where we caught Hogfish and Grunts, then grilled our catch for dinner—a delicious treat we’re eager to repeat.

Booked last-minute, our four-hour charter with Brad and Ben turned out fantastic. Their knowledge and enthusiasm kept us engaged as we moved between spots to maximize our catch. We ended up with a diverse haul of fish and had a blast! I would highly recommend this charter to anyone in search of a rewarding fishing adventure.

This crew is outstanding. My buddies and I enjoyed an afternoon offshore trip with Captain Brad, landing enough fish for dinner plus the thrill of battling big catches. Brad’s expertise ensured a successful outing, and we’ll definitely return.

For families new to ocean fishing, Captain Brad made the experience comfortable and fun by fishing close to shore near rocky areas brimming with fish. The spacious 33-foot boat accommodated our party of six comfortably, and the friendly guides were adaptable and welcoming. We caught a variety of species and can’t wait to fish with them again.

This knowledgeable team put us on Tarpon and made sure everyone had an amazing time. The genuine kindness of Brad, Luke, and Ben combined with their professionalism exceeded all expectations. We’ll be booking exclusively with them on future visits—thank you for making our trip the highlight!

The excellent service from captain and crew resulted in each of us catching over 20 fish. I highly recommend this charter to others. Luke and Skylar were superb guides and we’re already looking forward to our next trip.

Brad and his crew gave special care to my youngest grandson, ensuring he had a fantastic day. I would give them ten stars if I could and eagerly await our return for even bigger experiences.

Captain Brad’s knowledge made for a wonderful trip, not only answering all our questions but also sharing fishing tips and techniques. He patiently coached me through a challenging Tarpon catch, which was well worth the effort. The boat was ideal for a small group, and the entire trip was exceptional. I will definitely book with Captain Brad again when I’m back in the area.
