Buzz Brannon, Captain at North East Florida Angling

Embark on an unforgettable angling adventure with Captain Buzz Brannon, a seasoned guide offering a premium fishing experience in the enchanting flats around Jacksonville, Florida. Nestled in Northeast Florida, this region boasts pristine inshore fishing opportunities, revealing itself as the state's best-kept secret. Northeast Florida Angling, led by Captain Buzz, explores the untouched grass flats, uncovering the natural beauty and diverse marine life of the area.


The journey begins with the choice of various boat ramps, tailored to the season and your preferences. This flexibility ensures you'll witness the best the region has to offer, whether it's the vast 46,000 acres of salt marshes in the Timucuan Preserve or the inshore wonders around Atlantic Beach and the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Estuarine Research Reserve.


Captain Buzz's pride is his brand-new 18ft Beavertail skiff, meticulously designed for navigating Florida's flats. With a shallow draft enabling fishing in just 7 inches of water, this skiff promises an adventure into the heart of the estuaries. The stability and dry ride contribute to passenger comfort, and Buzz ensures his vessels stay top-notch, frequently updating to the latest Beavertail models. Modern navigational electronics and a new Yamaha outboard engine guarantee a reliable and well-equipped vessel for your charter.


A typical charter with Captain Buzz involves exploring backwaters and saltwater marshes in the Jacksonville area, targeting a variety of species such as Redfish, Spotted Sea Trout, Flounder, Black Drum, and Sheepshead. The choice of good quality light tackle, including Shimano reels and a mix of St Croix, Fenwick, and TFO rods, ensures an optimal fishing experience. Live baits or artificial lures provided by Slayer Inc. add an extra dimension to the adventure.


Captain Buzz Brannon is not just a guide; he is a full-time USCG licensed and insured fishing professional with deep roots in the first coast. Growing up in the region, he has fished the grass flats since childhood. His passion for the sport is evident in his tournament participation, with notable success, including a second-place finish in the Florida East Division of the IFA Redfish Tour in 2015. Buzz's expertise, coupled with his commitment to maintaining top-notch equipment, ensures that your angling expedition will be not only successful but also a cherished memory of Northeast Florida's hidden gem.

Captain Buzz really knows his stuff when it comes to the local fish scene. His top-notch customer service and keen eye for details guarantee a fantastic trip for everyone. Trust me, he'll make sure you reel in some great catches. I totally suggest booking with him!

July 26, 2025

Got this as a birthday treat, and man, it was a blast! CAPT Buzz knows how to deliver a good time. Even with tricky weather, I was still reeling in fish and having a solid experience. Definitely up for doing this again!

July 26, 2025

Awesome trip!! Captain Buzz wasn't just an awesome captain, he's a great dude too. Showed up early, had the boat ready to roll before I got there. Loaded me up with info about the area, wildlife, and what the day had in store. And oh, the fishing was epic! Snagged a black drum, some little guys (forgot their names), and then hit the jackpot with some big reds! Had a blast and totally recommend Captain Buzz for anyone wanting a rad time on the water!

July 26, 2025

Had a blast with Captain Buzz—scored some awesome fish even with not-so-great conditions!

July 26, 2025

Met up with Capt Buzz bright and early at the boat ramp, and it felt like hanging out with an old buddy. Super knowledgeable about fishing, he was eager to drop some wisdom on me. We hit up his favorite spots and explored some new ones. Bagged a good mix of fish—Red Drum, Black Drum, Bluefish, Vermilion Snapper, and plenty of Pinfish. Barely had any downtime with those slack lines. If you're looking for a backwater fishing guide, I'd totally recommend Capt Buzz. If I ever decide to do it again, he's the go-to for sure!

July 26, 2025

Awesome time! Landed a 30-pound beast of a redfish that gave me a run for my money on the very first cast. Ended up hooking more keeper redfish and a bunch of other cool fish too!
