Featured Speakers: Captains Mark and Bobbi Brady of Florida Saltwater Flats Fishing Charters
|
|
|
Captain Mark & Bobbi Brady are both charter captains in Steinhatchee, FL.
|
|
Capt. Mark started fishing tournaments in South Central Florida in his late teens. He fished primarily freshwater until the last 20 years when he made the switch to salt water. Captain Mark’s first love, next to Bobbi & his daughter, Jema, is inshore fishing. He gives his time and advice to numerous charity tournaments, such as “Reelin 4 Kids”, the “Gator Quarterback Touchdown Club”, and the Santa Fe High School “Raiders Slam” every year in the Big Bend area. Mark enjoys the challenge and prefers to catch his redfish on artificial lures. He is an advocate in wildlife conservation and prefers catch and release whenever possible.

Captain Bobbi Brady grew up on the water running shrimp boats with her family. Born and raised in Crystal River, FL, she moved to Steinhatchee when she was 22 where she began fishing inshore and offshore. She started competing in tournaments like the Florida Pro Redfish Series and the IFA Redfish Series about 4 years ago and has a few trophies to show for it. Realizing how much she enjoyed being on the water and taking people out to experience it for themselves, she decided to get a captain’s license and join the Florida Saltwater Flats team.
