Captain Brian Hart

2007 Yamaha Team of the Year (3 Peat)

Captain Brian Hart is one of Florida?s topnotch native anglers. Now a veteran angler, he began fishing at an early age with his father, dating back to toddler days. Tournament fishing was Capt. Brian?s favorite high school subject. Soon to follow was his high school graduation with an Honors Degree in fishing, if there ever was such a thing! This would mark the beginning of his lifetime dream of charter fishing.

Capt. Brian has fished along side the nation's finest anglers, competing in the Forest L. Wood "FLW?"Redfish Tour, ESPN Redfish Cup and Ranger/Cabelas Redfish tournaments. Brian also competes at the world-famous tarpon fishery, the Boca Grande Pass, where weekend tournament series are hosted like the Professional Tarpon Tournament Series. Capt. Brian has an impressive Boca Grande record highlighted by eight 1^st place finishes in the last four years along with numerous 2^nd and 3^rd places finishes. In addition to fishing tarpon and redfish tournaments, he truly loves to fish hometown tournaments that support local charities such as The Pediatric Cancer Foundation, The Boys and Girls Club and The Angelus, which is a home for the severely handicapped.

Capt. Brian Hart is sponsored by the legendary boat manufacturer, Ranger Boats. Known as the "ultimate bay boat," when you fish with him, you will fish in comfort and style all day long on his brand new 23' Ranger Bay Boat. Additional sponsors that believe in his talent include Yamaha Outboard Motors, Bob's Machine Shop, MinnKota Trolling Motors, Hummingbird Electronics, Power-Pole, Diiachi and Pure Fishing.

Capt. Brian Hart has been featured in several Florida Sportsman magazine articles along with many local and regional newspapers along Florida's West Coast. In fact, you can go to Articles Page to read about how one of his guided trips resulted in what was probably a brand new World Record Tarpon catch! Instead of killing such a majestic fish to simply weigh and claim a record, they successfully released the tarpon back into the wild to be caught another day.

You can also read about Capt. Brian?s recent victory-being part of the Yamaha Team of the year in the Tarpon Tournament Series.

Capt. Brian Hart has been fortunate enough to make charter fishing a lifetime dream and career. A recent article quotes Brian saying, "I feel like I am one of the luckiest people in the world, to be able to make a living doing what I love so much." On every trip with Capt. Brian, he carries that same passion and excitement for fishing on board, making every trip a time to remember. Let Capt. Brian Hart guide you on your next fishing voyage and help land your catch that could be the world's next record, just like Scott Kenney's whopping 300 lb. tarpon!
