Lagooner Local VLOG

Hello! I’m Captain Richard Bradley of Lagooner Fishing Guides! How many times can I say the same thing and get it wrong? Join me each episode to figure out where I’m going with the new cyber fishing VLOG!

Captain Richard Bradley

Charter Fishing Captain/Guide

Being a husband and father to three incredible women my life overflows with joy. As a lifelong resident and third generation Floridian, my passion is not only my family but the outdoors. It has been a great pleasure to take my family, friends, and customers on fishing excursions on Florida's east coast where I grew up for over five decades.

I love sharing my experiences and writing about my knowledge of where I live and often mix in my opinions and journeys. Please feel free to comment on my writings and express your views and experiences as well. [Captain Richard]

We had a deep sea trip planned for Tuesday March 9th. However mother nature had other plans and due to rough seas we decided to go on a inshore trip. We fished for 5 and half hours without boating a fish. I blame this on the weather a few days prior lows in the 50s. That's why they call it fishing and not catching. Capt Richard did everything he could to find fish but unfortunately the fish were not to be found. I was extremely grateful of Capt. Richard's offer for no charge. I did not think that was right due to using his boat ,fuel and his guidance. To me that shows that Capt Richard is a very honest business man. I would highly recommend his charter service and will definitely schedule a trip when I visit Cocoa Beach area again. Bill and Kay Dearworth

Took my son and dad fishing with Lagooner this past week. This was my sons first time deep sea fishing. Well needless to say, it was his best experience in a long time. He caught a 50 pound sail fish on his first catch. It wore him out to reel it in but it was all worth it. We all caught different variety of fish. I got a Barracuda! King Mackerel and Cobia were also caught. And we got to take them home eat! Richard definitely made the experience memorable and enjoyable! We had such a blast and his knowledge of fishing and his experience as a boat captain are unmatched. We will definitely be booking with Lagooner again next year. Thank you Richard and Gina for a wonderful time with Lagooner Fishing!!

Took my mom for her first fishing excursion for Mother's Day. She is 76 years old and wanted to catch a "big one"! Richard at Lagooner Fishing was terrific. Taught her some tricks, took us to his secret fishing spot and helped her catch a WHOPPER! I highly recommend this experience for all ages! Thank you Richard Bradley 🐟❤️🎣

Captain Richard is amazing - knowledgeable, polite, and extremely helpful with pointers and tips. He always put us on multiple species on every trip.

Wow what a great day on the water. Captain Richard was absurdly knowledgeable with a great sense of humor to boot. Would definitely recommend this to any angler at any experience level. Caught a mess of fish and had an absolute blast doing it.

We went yesterday and was great. We have fished alot and can't say enough good things about Capt Richard. The radio from other charters were complaining while we were catching 30-40 lb Kings and Cobia. Would not go with anyone else

Richard and Gina are really great people. Since I first fished with Richard about 8 years ago, I try to come back every year. Besides providing a great fishing experience, they have become good friends. Try Lagooner. You won’t be sorry!

My wife and I have chartered Captain Richard for both the ocean and inland rivers. We have had great experiences catching king mackerel, barracuda, and speckled trout. Captain Richard knows how to put you on fish and takes awesome pictures of us with our catch. Would definitely go on another fishing trip with Captain Richard.

My son and I had a lovely time on the ocean today with Captain Richard. The fishing was great, took home two large King fish and a Spainish Mackerel. Had them for dinner tonight, was so yummy. We saw many dolphins, some huge sea turtles, a manatee and a shark. Was not only a fishing trip but also a great nature adventure. Loved feeding the leftover bait fish to the pelicans and woodstorks. I HIGHLY recommend taking this trip. Worth every penny.

Richard is a great guide with a lot of great stories. Worth the time & money. We have gone with numerous times over the last 5 years. The last time was 12/27/16, we caught redfish, blue fish, mangrove snapper, jack & a snook. My husband & I both caught redfish...a 7, 12, 20 & 30 lbs. another great day on the water.

Stanton Jacobs

This was the best, we would go again in a second. He treated my 13 year old like a young man. Caught very nice fish in a beautiful area. Felt safe at all times. Cpt. Richard made quite the impression on my son. We will be going again, and I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Capt Richard and Capt Gina are awesome...! Very accommodating and they surely will guarantee anyone that goes out in the water with a great time! It's been awhile since I've gone charter fishing with them but I still remember every single moment I was out with them. Thank you Capt Richard and Capt Gina. Keep up the great work and more success to you guys. Fish ON....!!!

Having been fishing a number of times over the years with Captain Richard I can highly recommend Lagooner Charters. We have always had a great time and he puts you on the fish. Richard and Gina have not only been our charter captains but have become our friends. Give them a try you won't be disappointed.

I have been honored to share a boat with Captain Richard more than once. He and Captain Gina are fantastic people, kind, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable. I have been blessed to fish from Canada to Florida and I can give Lagooner Fishing Charters the highest of praise and I look forward to fishing with them multiple times in the future!

Captain Richard was great company on the boat. He's a blast to hang out with and will glady joke around with everyone. When it came to the fishing it was a tough day to start but we were able to find a school of drummer fish. He was able to spot a school of fish from his boat which was pretty cool. We caught a good 20-25 lb black drumfish which made the whole trip worth it. For sure recommend captain Richard.

2015-01-21T17:48:40+0000

A very knowledgeable guide and knows the area waters well. We were on big reds and trout within minutes of the leaving the dock and ventured about the lagoon to catch different species. The scenery in the Lagoon is remarkable! Richard’s boat was well equipped with good equipment, he was well prepared to adapt to the different types of fishing through out the day. My primary focus was sight fishing for big reds on fly - the flies that Capt. Richard provided were right on! Booking the charter was a breeze, his wife Capt. Gina was very accommodating to work me in (thank you Capt. Gina). Capt. Richard seemed to know who was hungry at the right times – and we had some impressive catches! Well done Capt. Richard, and thanks for a great day on the water!

Todd Brewer

We had an outstanding experience with Lagooner! To start, Captain Gina made the booking quick and easy. All follow-up and communication was just like she promised. Once we were on the water, Captain Richard made the day fun for everyone and put us on fish at every stop. I would recommend Lagooner to anyone looking for a charter in Cocoa Beach.

Gave a fishing trip to my husband for his birthday after recommendation from my cousin Kristin Kessel Asinger. He is still talking about it as the best fishing trip ever! Don't hesitate to book a fishing trip with Captain Richard!

Great day! Great fishing! I am a repeat customer and highly recommend Lagooner FishingI In mid-March, as a break from Disney parks, I took my two sons fishing. I took a nearly identical trip 10 years ago with my older son. Just like 10 yrs ago, Gina's customer service was awesome, and Captain Richard made the 6 hrs of fishing thoroughly enjoyable. My 8 yr old son caught his first "big one." Richard filleted the redfish, black drum, and trout we caught so back in Orlando everyone ate well that night. If you want a great fishing trip with great customer service while supporting a family run business, book with them.

When it comes to local fishing guides, Gina and Richard do not get any more local! Lifetime residents means they have invested their whole lives to this area. Not a better two anglers here in on the SpaceCoast! Our community is a better place with these two here.

Sometimes you cannot trust online reviews. I can assure you that this is not the case with Capt Rich of Lagooner Fishing Guides. Look no further and book your trip. I fished 1/2 day solo. Worked out perfectly as a little weather rolled in early afternoon. We caught a mixed bag of inshore species. The fishing and conversation were both enjoyable. Anytime I am fortunate enough to be in the Cocoa Beach area, Capt Rich will be hearing from me.

It's hard for us to believe, but our adventures with Lagooner Fishing Guides began over a decade ago when we came down to Florida for a weekend get-away. Over the years, we have had numerous incredible fishing trips with Capt. Richard! He is the BEST and has always given us an amazing adventure. We've not only landed beautiful fish, but we also get a new history lesson and lots of tips on making our time more special while we are visiting. One year, we even brought our team of employees to enjoy a few days of fishing and talk on his boat and they are still talking about that, 3 years later, as their "best" memory! Capt. Richard makes you feel right at home, whether you're a fishing pro or a first-timer. He'll keep you entertained with the tall tales and true stories and you'll never believe it's time to go inland because the time will fly by. We have recommended Capt. Richard to everyone we know who is making a trip down to the Cape Canaveral and Cocoa Beach area. His excursions are worth every penny and we always look forward to our next time on the water with Lagooner Fishing Guides. And when you go, tell him April sent you!

Captain Richard was amazing, after a short fishing trip I felt like we were good friends. He knew the fishing territory, it was too windy and high surf to go on the ocean so we stayed in the bay and caught 5 species of fish. His boat and equipment were top notch as well. He is very personable and accommodating to your needs. He has an awesome sense of humor which made an incredible fishing trip all that much better. He gave us pointers of what local attractions we should see before heading back to South Dakota, his advice was spot on. His wife, Captain Gina, called us to see how we were doing on the drive home. I would recommend him to anyone and plan on going back. Not to say that he is old :), but he's been doing this all of his life and knows his business! He is friends with other guides in the area and they communicate with each other to put their clients on the fish. All around awesome operation, I won't go anywhere else.

We chartered a boat on the banana river on a brief vacation to Orlando. We took one day to go to Coco Beach to go fishing. Our experience was excellent. Gina was very responsive and answered all of our questions. We met early In The morning and everything was already ready for us. We had several catches during the day. Richard was such a fun person to fish with. He has a fun personality and did all of the hard work (or icky work for the girls). He was extremely knowledgeable and we were fascinated with his knowledge of not only fishing but biology too. He also explained a lot about the area and space station stuff. I highly recommend Lagooner for anyone who wants a true local fishing experience with laid back yet highly experienced people.

This was my first time deep sea fishing and it was such a great experience, to say the least. Would highly recommend Lagooner Fishing Guides as they know the area very well and put a lot of effort into making every trip enjoyable. Will definitely be booking another trip with them!

My wife and I have chartered Captain Richard for both the ocean and inland rivers. We have had great experiences catching king mackerel and speckled trout. Captain Richard knows how to put you on fish and takes awesome pictures of us with our fish. Would definitely go on another fishing trip with Richard. Can’t wait until next summer to schedule another trip!

I've always enjoyed fishing with Gina and Richard. The best thing about our trips is that we always catch fish - and the fish are always cleaned so well. Plus, it is a pleasure socializing with them.

Lynn Kent

Gina and Richard are a great team, mooring the boat, handling the bait and fishing poles with ease and expertise. We had an enjoyable, successful day fishing and look forward to our next trip!

About 8 years ago, I was staying in GA for a month of training and was looking to do some fishing on a weekend. I found Lagooner on the web and had the most incredible experience! Even though I live in California, I've returned to fish with Richard and Gina 3 or 4 more times. Anytime I get close to Florida, I make sure to call the Bradley's and book a trip. They have become good friends and show me true hospitality and I always look forward to catching up with them. Oh yeah...and the fishing is amazing! My work dictates when I'll be in the area so I can't plan when I'll be close enough to fish the Space Coast. No problem, Richard and Gina always know how to put together a great fishing trip in any season. If you're thinking of fishing with a guide, make sure you give them a call. You won't regret it!

I’m a returning client of Capt. Richard and Lagooner fishing! He is an awesome guide and always provides a great fishing experience! This last trip I caught the biggest trout I’ve ever seen and my friend caught a monster of a Jack among other fish we caught! Can’t wait to come back again for another trip! You won’t regret booking a trip with Lagooner and Capt Richard and Capt Gina!

James Henderson

We had the weather against us but Richard still managed to make them bite. Been on quite a few charters over the years and Lagooner is right at the top! We will definitely be back next year when we visit FL again! Thanks for a great time!
