If you ever dreamed of a professionally guided, successful fishing excursion, this is your guide. Period. Captain Bryan has all of the qualities of a great guide in spades. We left the ramp on time and within 20 minutes he had us on the bite. Fresh live bait for the bottom and plugs for some top water action kept us busy for an hour. Often asking us what we wanted to target, he made sure that we were fishing for it. Intimately knowledgeable about the area, he shared thoughts and answered every question, even the dumb ones we asked. This guy is the ‘’ reel’’ deal. Being from the NE, I’m not a Fla kind of guy but we’ll be back in October to fish of the Thunder again..and I can’t wait. Thanks Captain Bryan.

I have never got to pull on more or bigger fish than during my half day with Captain Bryan!

I am a relative newbie and Captain Bryan and his mate took their time to teach me the techniques to land plentiful and large fish.  We started catching bait and then travelled 20 miles off shore to catch Cobia, Bonita and a variety of other fish. The day became a battle with the Bull Sharks … and we won more than our fair share.

Captain Bryan was more interested in me having a great day than hitting the dock on time.  He went above, beyond and further still to find every fish we could.  It was an epic day and I would fish with him again in a heartbeat.  I read many reviews and chose carefully … and often I still get it wrong … but this time I got it soooo right.  Newbies and old hands will have a blast with Captain Bryan. 

My husband really wanted to fish this area for snook and other seasonal game fish.  We booked the 4 hour mid day due to tides as a couples weekend event for the 2 of us. My husband fishes often and I fish very little.
Bryan was friendly,  extremely knowledgeable, helpful and handled the waves and weather like a true pro! The boat was a center console and had everything we needed without being fussy or over done.
It was a choppy cloudy day, and he knew exactly where to take us, (we did the pier, and jettys at the inlet) and tell us where to cast, angle the boat and all while baiting and helping bring in our catch. We almost immediately caught, sheepshead, snook and jacks.
When I had enough of the waves he took us in to the channel and we fished a few other locations which was also just really beautiful and relaxing. We packed our own snacks and drinks and muched a little between fish.

Thank you for a great day together.  We appreciate the adventure!

When I started looking for a fishing charter in the Sebastian area, I came across southern thunder. We were only able to do a half day trip so I wanted to look at the reviews to see what he was able to catch. We had mahi mahi and Cobia at the top of our list, so I took a look at the reviews to see if he had success on the half day charters getting those fish. I came across a great review saying that, similar to me, a girl wanted to catch a mahi mahi, tuna, and sailfish during their charter and that they ended up being able to do it all in one half day trip! That’s when I knew I had to go with captain Bryan. 

We had a great trip, captain Bryan asked us questions about our goals for the trip and what we wanted to bring home.  He got us offshore and right on to two mahi mahi, reeling them in at the same time. We also hooked on to a Cobia that was too short so it had to go back, as well as a giant kingfish.  Captain Bryan is very knowledgeable about the area, the ecosystem and his boat. We had an amazing time and we will most definitely be back! Thanks captain Bryan for an awesome trip!
