About the Captain
Capt. Brey has been fishing most of his life in South Florida
where there are 300+ fishable days a year. He takes advantage
of a large number of those days to spend at least a few hours
on the water.
His favorite fishing is for inshore species such as bonefish,
permit, tarpon, and snook. But he is equally skilled in offshore
fishing for sailfish, dorado, etc. And let’s not forget
the numerous wrecks and reefs off Miami loaded with snapper and
grouper.
He fishes primarily in South Biscayne Bay. This area is surprisingly
pristine despite its proximity to a huge metropolitan area. It’s
not at all uncommon to see a school of 7-9 pound bonefish tailing
in the foreground against the Miami skyline. Biscayne Bay bonefish
average larger than in many other fisheries, frequently running
into the double digits. Throw in a large number of permit to 40+
pounds and you have an incredible sight fishing destination.
Now these fish aren’t stupid. They receive a fair amount
of pressure from local anglers and guides. But Capt. Brey has
the experience and skills to get an angler into position for a
shot. Then it’s up to the angler.
Capt. Brey also fishes in Everglades National Park. People come
from all over the world just to see the alligators, mangroves,
and tremendous variety of bird life. The plentiful sea trout,
redfish, snook, tarpon, jacks, sharks, snappers, and ladyfish
ensure that an angler will never get bored. It is truly a unique
ecosystem and should be experienced at least once by anyone who
enjoys fishing.
Capt. Brey has been fortunate enough to fish with some of the
finest anglers in South Florida who are arguably among the best
in the world. He likes nothing more that sharing his extensive
fishing knowledge with others. He gets more satisfaction out of
seeing a flats fishing newbie catch their first bone than he does
in catching one himself.
He is equally comfortable with spin, plug, or fly tackle and is
quite capable of teaching the latter to beginners, though it would
be better to arrange lessons before booking a charter. Time on
the water in the presence of tailing bonefish is a little precious
to be learning the basics of saltwater fly fishing.
Whatever your chosen target, Capt. Brey’s enthusiasm and
passion for fishing will ensure a memorable and enjoyable adventure.
