Great trip with Captain B, we will definitely come back. Captain was really helpful with my 14-yr old grandson even though it's just his first time fishing. Truly amazing

I can't think of one negative thing to say about my fishing experience with Captain Brandon Huggins, owner of Early Bird Charters. Talk about an experience, he will put you on fish and show you a great time out on the water. He's super attentive, quick, and knowledgeable. I don't think I've ever enjoyed fishing as much as I did that day. If you book with Captain Huggins, Early Bird Charters, you won't be disappointed. You will leave wanting to book another trip! I know I will be soon. Thank you Brandon

Had a scalloping trip with captain Nate on Friday. Everything went smoothly we were out to quite a few spots and he even got in with us to help snag some. He showed us Gomez rock and we even found some other animals such as stone crabs, turtles and sting rays out there with us. Definitely recommend this charter you can't beat it for the price and experience.

What a way to end the year by fishing with him. He's extremely skillful, knowledgeable, and prepared. He came from a long generation of captains and that's where he most likely got his passion and skills. Amazing, will book again next florida scallop season
