Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters

Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters invites you to an unforgettable inshore fishing adventure out of Santa Rosa Beach. The charter is owned and operated by one of the best captains around, Captain Brad Bishop. He will use his experience of more than 20 years to guide you to the best spots and biggest fish in the area. 

Captain Brad operates a 23’ seaPro SV 2300 center console. It’s a fast and comfortable vessel that will get you to the desired fishing grounds in a heartbeat. You will love the T-top as it provides the much-needed shade in the hot Floridian Sun. The boat is also equipped with all the USCG approved safety gear, electronics, a shallow water anchor, and an iPilot trolling motor.

The town of Freeport is conveniently located in the Choctawhatchee Bay which offers outstanding fishing year-round. You can fish for Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Cobia, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle. Depending on the season and the fish you want to target, Captain Brad will take you to the places he knows produce good amounts of that fish.

Captain Brad’s number one priority is safety and putting meat in the boat.  He will provide the necessary fishing gear including rods, reels, terminal tackle, and a fishing license. Seeing his clients with the biggest smiles on their faces after hooking up on a big bull Red is priceless for Captain Brad.

Pickup can be arranged at a location convenient to you anywhere from Panama City to Destin, just book a trip to your liking and let the Choctawhatchee Bay Fishing Charters team do the rest!

Captain Brad has been on the water since he was 6 years old and started to drive his dad's boat. For 11 years he worked on the Mississippi River and ICWW, pushing barges. He then decided to come back home and start his own Fishing Charter Business. Captain Brad works for TowBoatUS Destin when not running charters. He knows the bay like the back of his hand.
