Family of six had a great time with Brian today. My company runs a dozen boats of all types down in the Virgin Islands. Wouldn't do a witeup if it wasn't deserved. We know what we are talking about as it pertains to a great service, skilled boating and safety, and having a great time out on the water. Wanted to say thank you Brian! and also that we highly recommend a nice day of fish out on the water with him.

Captain Bryan put us on fish and helped educate us. He was professional and personable, effectively teaching both the new fishermen in our group and the most experienced ones. Highly recommend this charter!

Bryan is the man and a great guide. Everything I could have asked for in a tarpon trip and more! He was focused and dedicated to the fish at all times and we definitely were on the fish!!! He was also very kind and accommodating to my family. A super guide with the fish to prove it!

I had the pleasure of booking a charter with Captain Bryan last week. This young man is a true professional at his craft. He knows the waters of Tampa Bay like the back of his hand. Started the morning off with a little inclement weather but he adapted to it. He works his tail off to put you on the fish and is very accommodating to his clients. We finished the morning off with a great Redfish bite and lots of Mangrove Snapper in the icebox. I highly recommend him and am looking forward to another trip. And if you're looking to flex your muscles on a Tarpon, he can put you on them. Get ready!!!

We had an epic day of tarpon fishing. 14 hookups, 3 catches ranging 120 to 175 lbs! Capt Bryan and 1st Mate Hunter were amazing hosts and had us on the bite the entire time! Jersey boys getting it done down south.

How do I book my fishing charter?
Please book your fishing charter by calling or texting Captain Bryan Foley at 727-53-SNOOK (76665).
How many passengers can you take?
Inshore fishing and Tarpon trips can have a maximum of four anglers on board. If you are looking to book with a larger group please give Captain Bryan Foley a call or send a text at 727-53-SNOOK (76665) and we can work with bringing on more captains to accommodate your group. Hosting large parties is something we do often here in Florida for business trips, bachelor parties, and family reunions and more.
What can we expect to catch?
The species of fish that we target is dependent on the season, however, during most inshore trips we will be looking to catch snook, redfish and trout. Certain times of year allow us to target other inshore species such as cobia, grouper, black drum, triple tail, mangrove snapper, and sheepshead. During the sping and fall season we target Kingfish. Tarpon trips are specifically focused on targeting Tarpon during the months of April-early August.
What is provided on the trip?
Booking a trip with Next Catch Guide Service includes all fishing licenses required for each guest on board. In addition Captain Bryan Foley provides all bait, rods, tackle and any other gear required for fishing that day. Our boat comes equipped with all of the necessary safety equipment and adult sized lifejackets. There is a cooler on board the vessel stocked with waters and ice. If you choose to keep your catch Captain Bryan will fillet and clean any fish for you.
What should I bring with me?
Please bring sunscreen and sun protection i.e. hats and sunglasses, weather appropriate clothing, shoes or footwear you don’t mind getting wet, and any snacks, food or any beverages you would like to enjoy while fishing.
Where do you pick up clients?
Our standard pickup locations are Maximo Park Boat Ramp and Crisp Park Boat Ramp both located in Saint Petersburg, FL. If you are staying on the water while visiting Florida special accommodations can be made to pick guests up at a location of their choosing pending Captain’s approval and are subject to an additional fee depending on distance.
Am I supposed to tip the captain?
While tipping your charter captain is not mandatory, it's a thoughtful gesture to show appreciation for their years of hard-earned expertise and dedication. Your generosity not only supports local fishermen but also acknowledges their skill in providing memorable fishing experiences for a diverse range of clients. It's customary to tip 20-30% of your charter cost, and for Tarpon trips, your first mate is compensated directly through your gratuity. With Captain Bryan Foley you can tip with cash, venmo, zelle, or through his credit card scanner when you pay for your charter.
