Captain Brian Lynch brings five decades of local water expertise to every Sea Shift Charters trip, consistently putting clients on productive fish across multiple species. Guests regularly catch keeper sea trout, snook, redfish, ladyfish, and even sharks, with many reporting 15+ fish per person and 60+ bites during their outings. Brian's technical knowledge shines through his strategic spot selection, effective cast net work for live bait, and willingness to adapt trips based on conditions - even working extra hard on windy days to maintain fast-paced action. Brian's patient teaching approach makes him exceptional with both beginners and families, taking time to explain techniques, locations, and proper handling while keeping everyone engaged. Customers consistently mention his calm, encouraging coaching style that builds confidence, especially when helping children land their first sharks or teaching newcomers proper fishing fundamentals.

We were a party of 6. Brian was very professional and took us to multiple spots. He was very knowledgeable about the area and species. Well worth the price for the unforgettable memories.

Joseph Poynter, Thank you! Your kids were awesome. The fact that they reeled in non stop fish of many different species (8) was very impressive. Looking forward to our next trip.

Trip - Charter Fishing Cape Coral – Snook, Redfish, Trout and Snapper on January 13, 2025

I have to tell you this gentleman is the real deal. He understands "the assignment" and goes above and beyond to help make your charter successful! We started the morning catching trout and ladyfish on artificial bait, which was a blast. Then we moved towards the bank and began fishing for snook and redfish with live bait. I have to tell you that was amazing!! Captain Lynch was very patient and informative on the technique, the location, and his service! I have been on many guided trips but I have never been with a guide who was so committed to ensuring you were catching fish and helping us in every facet of the adventure. One of the boys said something about catching a shark and Captain Lynch asked me if we wanted to go and try to catch a shark...I said heck yeah and we went out to an area, he poured some kind of liquid in the water and after about 20 minutes we had a shark on! What a fight and what an adventure we had. If you are looking for someone who checks all the boxes Captain Lynch is the right choice! It is well worth the investment and I can't wait until we can do it again!

Went fishing today with Capt Brian. We caught bait with him and immediately hooked some lady fish and tons of bait fish from the cast net. We hooked several keepers sea trout. Saw a few sharks, tarpon and also probably 15 dolphins. It was relaxing. He knows the spots and he has been fishing in these waters for 50 years. We each caught 15 fish atleast with 60 bites. He is a first responder owned business. Best time celebrating my husband's 40th birthday.
