About Captain Brad — New Smyrna Beach Fishing Charter Guide
Local Guide — New Smyrna Beach & Mosquito Lagoon
Captain Brad Curtsinger is one of Florida's most experienced fishing charter captains, with over 25 years guiding fishing trips in New Smyrna Beach. From deep sea fishing 30 miles offshore to inshore redfish on the Mosquito Lagoon, shark fishing at Ponce Inlet, and private boating lessons on the ICW — Captain Brad knows these waters better than anyone.
Hi. I'm Captain Brad. I've been fishing Florida waters for over 25 years, up and down the coast from Daytona to New Smyrna Beach, studying inshore areas like the world-famous Mosquito Lagoon, and offshore deep fishing up to 30 miles.
At a very young age I began fishing all of our nearby waters and estuaries and fell in love with the thrill of catching big game fish. I employ skilled tactics in my fishing techniques that are proven to catch an abundance of big game fish species in both prime and non-prime feeding times.
When you come fishing with me as your local guide, you'll learn how to make the most of every trip — whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned angler looking to unlock new spots.
When You Fish With Me, You'll Learn:
- Rig live bait properly for best strikes
- Use artificials properly
- Best feeding times, barometric pressure, tides, and moon phases
- Local hotspots from Ponce Inlet to Edgewater
"Let my skills work for you and you too can know the thrill of catching big game saltwater or freshwater species in both the offshore and inshore areas of water that I know like the back of my hand!"

What Our Guests Say
"This offshore fishing trip with Captain Brad and his First Mate Ryan was more than just a fishing charter — it became one of those memories my son and I will talk about for years to come. He was patient, encouraging, and incredible with my son the whole trip."
— KarachiKiller
"Brad was like a young lad in a candy store when he located the manta rays. This guy knows his fish and loves sharing his knowledge. I can't wait till next year!"
— Jonathan White
"Took my 10 year old son out with Captain Brad for his birthday. We weren't in our spot for 2 minutes before we were on fish and spent all four hours catching multiple types of fish."
— Joshua Streng
