Brian took me and my daughter out on our first FL fresh water fishing trip, it was my daughters 22d birthday. We started catching fish right away and caught fish throughout the day. We each caught a grand slam of clown knife fish, peacock bass, large mouth bass and striped bass. Brian is great fun to hang out with and put us on the fish! Our biggest peacock was 4 1/2 lbs and we got two knife fish between 6 and 7 lbs. I will fish with him again and recommend him to everyone.

Half day fishing with Brian

This was an experience like no other. Probably the most productive day of fishing I ever had. Me and my girlfriend decided to try this trip out while on vacation here in Florida. From the moment we booked to the second we got of the boat Brian was nothing but an absolute pleasure. He made everything super simple and easy to book and pay for. We showed up to the lake and he was there waiting with the boat ready.

Amazing!!!

Brian at Operationtek promised a great fishing day and he did more than deliver! It was no stress fishing on a beautiful lake. Brian was patient, knowledgeable and really knew where to find the fish. Started a little slow but once it started, it was jumping

Half Day trip Captain Brian

Brian was very knowledgeable about the local fishery, and an overall fun guy to fish with. We went out to specifically for Clown Knifefish. They are not an easy species to target, but we pretty much caught everything else the lake had to offer! We didn’t end up catching a Clown.

Half day with Operationtek

Such a fun and awesome time, we caught many different species (mainly peacocks which we were in hopes of catching) and it was consistent the whole duration of the trip. We didn’t really know what to expect going into the charter, but we are more than pleased with how it went. Brian definitely knows his spots and wants to put.....

Brian was waiting at the launch when we arrived 15 minutes early. After a quick launch, he put us on fish within minutes. We only did a 4 hour trip, start to finish was an awesome time. The peacock bass were all they are touted to be. Thanks for a great trip. See you again !!

Great Trip Highly recommend

Brain was super awesome! Two teenagers and myself on the trip. We were instantly on fish within the first few casts. At one point things got slow and Brain moved until we found them. We absolutely crushed em!!! Brain is very laid back and patient with kids.

Half Day with Brian

My dad was happy as he caught different three species all in one area. He almost had the grand slam with a clown knife fish but the one that got away is always what keeps you going back. Captain was great and very easy to talk to as he took us to a variety of fishing structures. If you want to get on fish call this guy!

Great Day on the water

This was by far the best fishing trip I have ever been on. Yes ofcourse for any fishing trip, a lot of it is how many fish you catch, but people take for granted how important a good captain is and Captain Brian is the best!

We had a great half day trip with Captain Brian! It was nice during Covid to be on a smaller boat with just us and Captain Brian. Captain Brian knew all the great fishing spots, and provided fun conversation, sharing his knowledge of fishing, the birds, and the iguanas!

Went out this morning after Peacock bass. Took my 2 children along. We had a great morning of fishing with several big Large Mouth bass and Peacock bass. Captain Brian was great with the kids (8 and 5) helped them to catch both of there biggest fish ever. The 17 hour drive from Texas to Florida was well worth it.
