Captain Brandon’s journey from Indiana farm ponds to the deep waters of the Gulf is a story of true passion. A pharmacist by profession, he’s spent the last 15+ years fishing the Gulf Coast—from Venice, Louisiana to Key West, Florida—and he uses every spare moment to chase fish and share that love with others.

Now based on the Gulf, Captain Brandon offers inshore, offshore, and kid-friendly fishing trips that are fun, relaxed, and packed with action. Whether you're new to fishing or bringing the whole family along, Brandon’s friendly and engaging style makes everyone feel right at home on the water.

With a lifetime of fishing experience and a calm, knowledgeable approach, Captain Brandon is ready to help you create unforgettable memories—one cast at a time.

Rapid Fire Guide Q & A

What’s the biggest fish you’ve caught?
Goliath Grouper. 110+ lb tarpon on a charter
If you were cooking for all your friends what would you cook?
Ribeyes on the green egg
How did you get started guiding?
Began fishing all over the coast with a variety of guides. Started offshore fishing with a kayak, got a fancy Jon boat, learned to fish the bay more, then decided to take the leap and bought a Pathfinder and started part time before I realized it was my true passion. Quit being a pharmacist full time to pursue guiding full time.

My husband son and I had to best time on our fishing trip with Brandon. It was abnormally cold so I was a little nervous, but the trip far exceeded our expectations! Brandon went out of his way to make our son feel important and like a real fisherman. We can’t recommend this trip enough!

Brandon was the perfect guide with our crew of kids (ages 9-13). Brandon and Chris were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They kept everyone engaged and entertained for our 2 hour trip, which can be tricky with kids. Big plus that he is Purdue guy too!

We had Brandon as our Captain and he was great. we probably covered 80 miles looking for Tarpon and found 5 schools but we couldnt get them to bite. We did hook a couple of different fish in a school but they got off. Our captain did everything he could and was none stop looking to try and get us on fish. I would for sure go back out and try...
