Owner & Captain: Rick Brady
A
native Floridian, Rick attended Fort Lauderdale High School, Broward
Community College and Florida Atlantic University. Captain Rick has
been sport fishing in Fort Lauderdale and nearby regions
professionally for over 35 years and bought his first Fort
Lauderdale fishing charter boat over twenty five years ago. He is
the current president of the Bahia Mar Captain's Association, the
premier charter fleet for Fort Lauderdale fishing.
He is an established and highly respected Captain in the South
Florida Sport fishing community and recognized for his Fort
Lauderdale charter fishing accomplishments, as well as numerous
tournament wins in South Florida and the Caribbean. Among these wins
he currently holds two Bahamas Billfish Championships, a true
tribute to his dedication to fishing.
When you meet Captain Rick, he'll
greet you with a smile. After all, how can you not be
happy when you fish every day and you love what you do. Once the
hunt begins for fish, you'll see that in his eyes... and his eyes
don't miss a thing.

Captain Steve Souther
Born in
Chicago, Il., Steve moved here with his family in the late 60's. A
graduate of Loyola Academy High School in Wilmette, Il., he went on
to Florida Institute of Technology for 2 years majoring in Marine
Biology. Steve holds dual certifications in Scuba instruction and
obtained his first Captains license in 1976.
He has been operating boats locally and abroad ever since. His
fishing experience started on the Great Lakes and in Canada, fishing
for Walleye and Northern Pike as a boy. Upon moving here permanently
in 1975, he began his Fort Lauderdale fishing career on private and
charter boats as both a Captain and mate.
"I haven't had much time to travel abroad since we began our family
here, so most of my experience has been here locally, in Fort
Lauderdale". It works to our customer's advantage, fishing the same
areas year after year; Steve knows the habits of the fish here and
the Fort Lauderdale fishing area quite well. You'll spend a few
hours with Captain Steve, and find him quite easy going,but very
focused on his objective. "This isn't tournament fishing, this is
licensed professional charter fishing… It's supposed to be
productive AND fun". And THAT is just what you'll find... when
fishing with Captain Steve.
First Mate Andrew
The
full moon has been giving us a bit of trouble deep sea fishing in Ft
Lauderdale this first week of September. While we really seem to be able to
catch numerous Bonitos and Barracudas we are having particular difficulty
with the Kingfish. The Kingfish we are catching are requiring a lot of
patience and perseverance to get the job done. Kingfish as glamour fish?
They can be, but not typically. An important fish for many a successful Ft
Lauderdale fishing charters? You
bet they are. 1st mate Andrew is
putting a lot of effort into our program to get some Kings into the box .And
he is getting it done. Not only Kings, but Jacks, African Pompanos, Tunas,
Wahoo, Snappers and Sailfish as well/ you name it. It’s a long list. So
let’s touch briefly on what sets one fisherman apart from the crowd so to
speak, and this is from my “experiences” of 40 years of doing it. My
favorite fish is the Blue Marlin and the “Marlin My Darlin” is named after
this great fish. I watch him (Andrew) and his attention to detail and his
dedication to perfection and marvel at his drive. Success is when
preparation meets opportunity I like to say. My personal passion for fishing
perfection allowed me to win two Bahamas Billfish Championships ( each
championship a five tournament
series regarded by many as the
Superbowl of Sportfishing), place second twice and garner one third place
against some very talented fishermen. Was I lucky? You bet I was, AND I
surrounded myself with an “A” team crew involving some very special talented
people. When I watch this kid work his magic day after day in the cockpit of
my Marlin My Darlin I happily realize that I am again in the presence of
something special. That special smile on a 10 year olds face when he lands
that personal best “big one”, or that fat Blue Marlin that brings that same
special smile to the hand picked team lucky enough to be involved in that
tournament catch is what it’s all about.
Every deep sea fishing day. weather it is in
Ft.
Lauderdale or wherever, is
a tournament event for Andrew. He is going places in this sport, and I look
forward to every day that I look down there when I throttle down @ the edge,
no matter where, and holler “Hey Kid, you ready to rock”? You bet he is, and
I’m the lucky one. Again.
