I have been a an avid fishermen, hunter and all around outdoorsmen since I could walk. While other kids idolized sports figures and music artists, my heroes have always been outdoorsmen like Davy Crockett, Richard Proenneke and Daniel Boone. During my travels in the military, I had opportunities to hunt and fish around the country and across the world. After deciding to open my own business, combining my entrepreneurial spirit and love of the outdoors only made sense. My mission is to instill and reinvigorate the love of the outdoors in everyone I meet.

Our trip with Captain Brad was wonderful—we highly recommend him to others looking for a knowledgeable and experienced fishing guide. He had Gatorade stocked for the trip and went above and beyond to make sure our family had the best experience possible.

We had a great day on the water with Captain Brad catching redfish, speckled trout, and black drum. He was very receptive to our different skill levels and was a pleasure to spend the day with. Look forward to another day on the water in the future.

Captain Brad was an outstanding guide who got us right on the fish! My wife and I caught a big red, maxed our sheepshead counts, and had a tasty speckled trout. Brad is a great guide, very hospitable, easy to talk to, and goes out of his way to make sure you have a great experience. We will definitely request him again in the future!
