Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Captain Bradley got us on the fish!! From the very first cast of the day landing a redfish, to the very last cast landing a drum there was nonstop action all day. A conservative estimate is each angler landed between 20-30 fish for the day. If the action wasn’t hot enough the we would move until we found it.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We came out on a cold winter day where the water was at extremely low levels and Capt. Bradley still knew where to go to make sure we got lots of big fish. Brad and Reagan stayed extra with us to go through multiple different spots and make sure we had a great trip!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.We brought 15 guys down for a bachelor party, and I couldn’t be happier with the Cat 5 group. Bradley and team know these waters well and put us on to some of the biggest fish anyone had ever seen — including a 24lb red. Top notch boats, guides, and equipment. Can’t recommend these guys enough.
