This offshore fishing trip with Captain Brad and his First Mate Ryan, was more than just a fishing charter — it became one of those memories my son and I will talk about for years to come. Captain Brad made the entire experience unforgettable. He was patient, encouraging, and incredible with my son the whole trip.

My cousin and I went fishing with Brad on 4.15.26. This time we hit the big water, looking for Cobia. Brad was like a young lad in a candy store when he located the manta rays. This guy knows his fish and loves sharing his knowledge. I can't wait till next year!

Wonderful Cobia fishing experience! Brad Curtsinger is an awesome experienced guide who works hard to make your fishing experience a blast! His first mate Ryan is a wonderful complement to this dynamic duo! Can't say enough good things about our exciting day chasing after manta rays!

Took my 10 year old son out with Captain Brad for his birthday. Brad was very patient and very helpful with my son. His boat is very clean, very nice, and rides great. We weren't in our spot for 2 minutes before we were on fish and spent all four hours catching multiple types of fish.

Captain Brad is really dedicated to doing whatever he can to give you the best experience possible. Brad and first mate Ryan are super nice, treat you as a good friend. Would definitely try fishing with him without even looking elsewhere!

Captain Brad was amazing and made this first fishing trip with the family a success. We were also told about Beacons, that prepared the shark we kept. We will be doing this again when vacation comes back around next year.

Conditions are very calm, making it an excellent choice for beginners, children, or those prone to seasickness.
Target species include Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, and Sheepshead. Consistent action with light tackle ensures a hands-on, active fishing experience.
Nearshore & Deep Sea Fishing
