My family has been fishing for 20+ years in the Bradenton area. There is no better captain than Captain Brady. He knows how to find the fish and keep a group entertained. Very pleased with his work with us for the past 8 years. No need for us to book with anyone else! BassnBay is the best around!

My wife and I recently visited the Bradenton/Sarasota area for our honeymoon. We booked a trip with captain Brady and i tell you what he was awesome from start to finish. It was a tougher day but We DID catch fish. What made it most worth it for me is how professional he was to my wife and Myself, and made the experience enjoyable the whole trip. I have fished and hunted with guides and outfitters all over and he is absolutely one of the best. Hope to see them again soon.

Had a great time today...my first time fishing! Capt Brady was great! We maxed out on Mangrove Snapper..caught some Snook..mackerel...and a variety of others. Brought the mackerel and Snapper home and can’t wait to fry them up!! Can’t wait till next time!

We had the best time with Captain Brady yesterday! We got two Jacks, and probably 8 or 9 each of redfish and snook. Unfortunately, out of season for both of those, but we had a great time. Could not have asked for a better day! We will be back and highly recommend this charter!
