Great day on the water. Conditions were tough but Brian got us on the fish. Wife caught her first fish in the salt on fly. Brian is the best!

Just coming off of a fabulous trip with Brian! What can I say....Brian is the perfect blend of professionalism, enthusiasm, experience and skill. Combine that with his great easy-going personality and top-notch skiff and gear — makes for an unforgettable fishing experience. Brian had us into multiple shots at tarpon throughout the day...ultimately connecting with a beautiful fish just as we were packing up to head back to the marina. Hands down the best saltwater guided trip I’ve had. Already looking to book my next outing with him. Can’t recommend him enough. Thanks again, Brian!

My go too in this area. He will school you with knowledge and put you on the fish. Ive tried several guides in the area and this dude delivers unlike most guides around who just want your money and could care less if you catch fish or have a great experience. On the fly in the Tampa area will not go out with any other guide but Capt. Brian. Worth every cent and minute of your time.

Tons of fish and super cool guide!I had booked an all day tarpon trip but we had to change plans last minute due to bad weather and switched it up for a night fly fishing trip. I was originally disappointed but after landing 15-20 fish that night I'm glad I made the 9 hr drive down from SC just to fish with Brian. He put me on a ton of fish and I ended up getting a Florida super slam! Tarpon, snook, trout, and redfish. Brain has a sweet Hell's Bay Mangrove, nice fly rods (broke my rod 15 min before we launched) and is an all around super guy. I would HIGHLY recommend booking a trip with him!

Captain Brian is a legit fly fishing guide who will work hard all day long poling and putting you on fish! I enjoyed my day with him and will be using him again. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a fly fishing experience in the Tampa Bay area.

In Tampa for business, and what do I find? A Fly Fishing icon! Brian Jill kept fish in front of me for the majority of the trip. I will be back to the Tampa area for sure!

Brian is a great guide!! Put me on multiple big tarpon today and was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend a full day of fishing with him.

The hardest working Captain in Florida. Very focused, very knowledgeable, very driven. In our opinion, one of today's most versatile flats guides.

Brian is one of the most enthusiastic and knowledgeableguides that I've had the pleasure to fish with. His attention to detail and work ethic are second to none. His skiff is clean and well maintained, and ideal for angling. Even in the worst of conditions, he's motivated and innovative, making every effort to give you a great shot at fish. Highly recommended.

Extremely pleased with the professionalism that Brian showed. Stayed on top of the weather to put us out on the best day and time. Found lots of fish and had a super time. Will definitely look him up the next time we are in the area.

The trip was truly an experience of a lifetime, with my son Ryan Davey and Captain Brian Jill. This was my 1st time fishing for Tarpon or Snook. Brian is phenomenal at what he does. Great personality and what I liked most is the attention to detail, drive, knowledge and experience he has. He breaks it down like a science. Driven & focused on the task at hand with good conversation in between. Fish, fun and an awesome unforgettable adventure, seriously ya'll, what more can you ask for. Thank you Brian.

Incredible trip, incredibly talented guide and his knowledge of the local fisheries was nothing short of amazing. Can't say enough good things about Brian and will definitely be back many times to come! If you fly fish and are in the Tampa Bay area, there is no better guide.

A+++ experience fishing with Captain Brian for two nights of dock light fishing for snook. There was a chance that we were going to be blown out the second night. Due to his knowledge of his fishery, Brian was able to get us on some fish in an area that was sheltered from the 25mph wind and still make a full night of it. We had shots at snook and tarpon both nights and caught a few other species as well. He didn't even yell at us for trout setting a few times. Lol! SUPER FUN! Highly recommended and I can't wait to go back.
