Captain Brad Spalding

Hello
and welcome to Florida!!
My name is Captain Brad Spalding, originally
from Indiana I have been a sportsman and a fisherman my whole life. My
Grandmother started me Bass fishing at a very young age and our vessel
of choice was her Lincoln Continental which had a trunk full of gear at
all times. I joined the USAF at the age of 18 and my
assignments were located in some of the best fishing spots in the world.
Being a Firefighter, I had plenty of time to explore my surroundings.
The first of many was Homestead AFB located near Miami, this is where I
truly got the saltwater itch and the rest of my twenty-two year career
was spent strategically working to get back to Florida. In
2001 I jumped at the opportunity and the Air Force moved my family to
Patrick AFB located in Melbourne, Fl. We have since had a blast fishing
the eastern seaboard of Florida and the Bahamas. It paid off four years
ago when my Daughter at the age of 14 broke the IGFA World Record for
Swordfish in the female junior category, that is a memory for life for
our family.
Our recreational boat The Brassy Hooker
sponsored by Bluepoints Marina in Port Canaveral has won countless
titles in offshore tournaments finishing in the top 3 in every
tournament out of Port Canaveral last year with just one exception, they
call it fishing for a reason I guess. Since my retirement from the
military I am a full time Captain and fisherman. I know where the fish
eat, sleep, and breed and I assure you that your trip with me on Fired
Up Charters will be a fun filled day with family memories that will last
a lifetime. If you have any questions or concerns contact Capt Chris
with my name in the subject line and I will do my best to answer them.
Tight Lines!!!
