Old or young, you’re bound to have a great fishing trip with Captain Brad! We had a great fishing trip and everyone got the chance to reel one in. If you’re in Lake Tahoe, I would highly recommend doing a fishing trip with Captain Brad. The views, the fishing, and even his boat snacks just can’t be beat.

October 15, 2025

Brad is the best boat captain around. We had so much fun and caught a bunch of fish. He is so knowledgeable about where to fish. Book him if you want to catch fish and have a great time.

October 15, 2025

We had a vacation in Lake Taho and booked a trip with Brad! He is really knowledgeable and was able to put us in different spots. My kids were able to experience catching fish on their own and we all learned a lot! He even cleaned our catch after the trip. Looking forward to booking a trip with him again!
