    Capt Brian fishing & Site seeing your Anclote Key

    3 Hour Shelling & Sightseeing - AM on July 8, 2023 • 3 adults

    We had a blast today 9 July 2023 with a wonderful tour and historic review of fishing locations, the Anclote Key lighthouse, various hidden treasures beaches only accessible via boat, and various ship wrecks- Tarpon Tours and a variety of historic and local facts about this gorgeous fishing area. Capt Brian was simply stellar in his knowledge of the area and his safety practices on open sea! I was delighted with the tour and new expectations to come back for more to learn and eco with our new friend and Capt. Brian. Thanks for getting my kids and me a great run for the money and excellent experience of the Great Anclote fishing and beach areas. You were amazing and we shall definitely be back shortly. Sincerely, Ricky Abreu

    Awesome morning of fishing!

    2 Hour Inshore Fishing – Trip on August 7, 2023 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We took my kids out for a 2 hour inshore fishing experience and we have a BLAST! The boat was plenty big for us all to sit and fish comfortably without being in each others way. Captain Brian was very accommodating he did clock watch and made sure we caught fish and had a great time. He was very patient with the kids teaching them how to bait their own hooks and handling the fish. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend taking a trip for yourself!

    Great Family Day

    2 Hour Inshore Fishing – Trip - 1:00 PM on March 7, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Had the best time out with Brian and my family. We caught 6 fish, and my 12 year old had the time of his life. Brian was great, took us to a few spots and helped out non stop with tending to everyone's lines and making sure everyone had fun. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fun day fishing.

    Awesome 3/4 Inshore day trip

    8 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on July 5, 2022 • 2 adults

    Captain Brian was awesome! I originally booked his offshore grouper trip, Captain Brian immediately reached out to me letting me know that he was doing some trips days prior to check if fish were still biting. He contacted again days before the trip and spoke to us about the options we had as he was willing to try a grouper trip however he hadn’t seen many the prior days and suggested we do an inshore trip. BEST choice of our whole vacation! He had us on fish almost instantly and really took good care of us! We caught tons of big red fish, some small snook, a flounder, and some small mangrove snapper! Just look at the pictures! He tried his hardest to keep our rods as bent as they are in the pictures as often as he could for us! This was by far one of the best trips I have ever been on! Highly recommend any of Captain Brian’s trips he will make sure you have a great adventure! Can’t wait for our next trip! I plan on bringing my work buddies back to the area around August and go out again with Captain Brian.

    Big tarpon, big trout, good time

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on March 14, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Brian was great! Put us on the fish when other captains weren’t having luck. Very entertaining and fun guy. Provided refreshments and taught my friend who thought rocks were fish that they weren’t.

    Half day trip with Captain Brian

    2 Hour Inshore Fishing – Trip on August 28, 2023 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a blast, caught lots of different species of fish (trout, snapper, reds jacks and one lady.) kept a few that we wanted to eat. Released the rest. Capt. Brian is a pro, very knowledgeable and accommodating. Boat and equipment are first class. I’ll definitely be booking another trip with him soon when Grouper season opens. “Fish On!”

    Tough bite early, but...

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing on March 14, 2023 • 4 adults

    Had a hard time getting on the fish early, but Capt Brian found plenty soon enough. Had a great time. Good bonding with me and my 19 year old soon who doesn't fish much (he caught most of our fish). Big shout out for Captain Brian, he didn't give up despite tough conditions and it paid off in the end. We limited out!!!. We highly recommend Anclote Adventures!!

    Caught some nice redfish and a drum

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing - 1:00 PM on December 23, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Captain Brian was great, he worked hard to find us fish and was a big help with advice as we brought them in.. My 11 year old grandson had a terrific time.

    We booked a full 8 hour trip, and fishing is fishing, it started out a little slow, but quickly turned into the Adventure of a lifetime. Getting onto fish, over slot redfish and Snook that had us all excited. We would happily go again with Captain Brian
