My name is Captain Brad, and I've been operating out of Pompano Beach for the past 15 years.

Fifteen years ago, I moved here, bringing with me a deep-seated passion for fishing that began in North Carolina. I grew up fishing off beaches, piers, and boats, and also spent time fishing in Maryland. When I discovered the incredible fishing opportunities in Florida, I couldn't wait to hear the sound of a screaming drag day after day.

We have three boats:
two fishing boats, a Seavee and an Anacapri, and a pontoon boat for leisurely cruises. Our team is made up of friends and family, all of whom share a profound love for fishing. We work together to ensure our guests have the best possible experience on the water.

My guiding style is tailored to our guests' preferences. Whether they want to catch big fish, reel in a lot of fish, or ensure their young kids have a hands-on, interactive adventure, we customize each trip to make it memorable and fun.

Outside of guiding, I enjoy hunting and traveling. I love exploring new places, discovering unique wildlife areas, and immersing myself in new experiences around the world.

When customers book with us, they can expect a fun and exciting time filled with great stories and plenty of local fishing knowledge. We aim to create lasting memories and ensure every guest leaves with a smile.
