Bad day of Fishing
★★★★☆
“ Captain was enjoyable. The fishing was a bummer on this day. Catfish and small redfish. Only kept one that was barely legal enough to take. Most fish I have ever caught, but better then going home empty handed.”

“ Our guide Brad had lots of information about the area we fished in and found us many small and large size fish to catch. Great morning of fishing. We even caught our first Snook fish ever. We will definitely call again on our next Florida trip to find more fish. Thanks again!”

Excellent trip
★★★★★
“ I booked this trip while visiting Orlando to break up the insanity of visiting the theme parks. My guide Capt Brad could not have been better. He was clearly a very experienced angler and had us on top of decent sized fish almost immediately. My only regret is not booking a full day trip! My one piece of advice if you’re looking to land a large number of fish is to go with the longer day! We were pulling in one fish after another.”
- Alex k
Unforgettable!!!
★★★★★
“ I would like to take the time to tell all father's and fisherman of the trip that they should take there son's or themselves on if only once. The central Florida fishing is the best if your looking for quality and quantity, it so good that my friend and I decided awhile back that we will make this a annual trip. Anyway I want to tell you of the greatest guide you will ever meet, Capt Brad Kayholm. Now I will say if you don't request him as your guide your experience may not be as good as mine, this guide are the best I have ever been around and are a lot of fun and have your interest at heart. I strongly urge you to call NSFC.com for the best trip you will ever have in your life and don't put it off. Thanks Rick Preston”

Great Afternoon Trip
★★★★★
“ We booked a 6 hour afternoon trip with Captain Brad during our short Florida Spring Break Trip. (April 4, 2018) We had an absolute blast with Captain Brad. My wife and 10 year old son, both caught their personal bests on our trip. Little man boated a solid 10 pound Redfish, with Mom coming in a close second with a 9 pounder. Guessing we caught 20 in total for the afternoon. We will definitely be back!”

“ I normally visit my son at UF, I was spending some time with my family and wanted to show my son and 2 grandchildren what fishing is really like in Florida. We booked online and scheduled us for a four hour outing with Captain who has a larger boat that would accommodate me and my brood. Captain was very accommodating and proved to have a wealth of local knowledge. Will do it again on the next visit!”

Captain Brad is Amazing!!
★★★★★
“ We went fishing with Captain Brad and he put on top of the biggest bass we had ever seen! One after another until our arms were sore (a great fishing problem to have, lol!) My 13 year old boy had the time of his life and the 3 days in the Disney parks were nothing to him compared to our day fishing with Captain Brad. It was his favorite day! Thanks Ever so much for creating everlasting memories and next time we are in Florida, we will be calling!! Kind Regards,”

Amazing Fishing Charter
★★★★★
“ Every year I have a business conference in Daytona and this year was one for the books. We had a long break one of the conference days and a buddy of mine and I went on a fishing charter out of New Smyrna Beach and it was an unbelievable trip. We caught multiple sea trout and the Captain was awesome. New Smyrna is a beautiful place to visit and see from a boat. This is a highly recommended trip for all parties.”

Fun Day on the water!
★★★★★
“ Captain Steve had us on the water a few minutes early and had us hooked up within the first 15 minutes of lines in (4# 11 oz). Post hurricane...post full moon made the bite sporadic but we caught (and lost) several fish. The Captain was enthusiastic and attentive.. never a dull moment with stories and quips... just like you would expect from an experienced fisherman!”

Captian Brad was amazing
★★★★★
“ Great experience, was not cheap but this outfit was exactly what I was looking for. I found them on Google and then on Tripadvisor. Captain Brad called me the day before the trip, told him we were bringing our daughters 5 and 7. He recommend I meet him about 15 minutes from where I was staying. He had a great boat that fit everyone and once we got to his fishing hole it was non stop until 12pm. We caught over 30 fish it was amazing. Captain Brad was all over the boat taking a fish off here, helping one of the kids reel in fish after fish, was changing wacky worms on all our bait. Next year when we come back we are 100% booking Brad again.”
