We had an awesome deep‑sea adventure out in the Gulf! Captain Brian was fantastic, knowledgeable and kept everyone catching. He put us right on the fish, and by the end we all caught a bunch of BIG ones!! Such a great family‑friendly trip and an easy recommendation for anyone wanting a fun day offshore. I would recommend the 6 or 8 hour trip if you have a full 6 person group. He also has a 30’ foot boat, which gave us all plenty of room to move around. 🎣👍

Captain Brian was great to fish with. As someone who has grown up in Florida and been on quite a few charter trips, I can now say I won’t use anyone else in the Tampa Bay area. He had us on the fish the entire time. Can’t wait to book with him again and target some other species I’ve had on my bucket list for years. I highly recommend booking with him.

Brian at Westbound Sport Fishing was amazing. I booked my trip the day before, and he reached out within minutes. On our trip today, we caught multiple different species. We had to stay inshore due to the weather, but that didn’t stop us from catching a Cobia, Gag grouper, beautiful sized mackerel, and a few others. I highly recommend Brian, he will put you on.

Had a great day fishing with Captain Brian. Not only did we limit out on grouper we caught other varieties of fish. Coming back in we enjoyed a large pod of dolphin! So much fun. Very knowledgeable. We are already planning to go back out in March 2026
