🎣 Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Brandon! 🌊


If you're looking for the ultimate fishing experience, look no further than a charter with Captain Brandon! From the moment we stepped on board, it was clear we were in expert hands. Captain Brandon is not only incredibly knowledgeable about local waters and fish behavior, but he’s also patient, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does.


Whether you're a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, he makes sure everyone feels comfortable and excited. He knew exactly where to go to put us on the fish — we were reeling in keepers almost nonstop! His boat was clean, well-equipped, and perfectly suited for an amazing day out.


What really sets Captain Brandon apart is his personality. He’s down-to-earth, fun to talk to, and makes the whole trip feel like you're out fishing with an old friend. He gave great tips, helped with baiting and casting, and celebrated every catch like it was his own.


We came back with a phone full of pictures and memories we’ll never forget. Whether you're after trophy catches or just a relaxing day on the water, Captain Brandon’s fishing charter is 100% the way to go.

Brandon was a great guide. Gave our family of 4 tons of opportunities to catch fish on Ruedi Reservoir, put us on a bunch, and kept smiles on our faces the whole time. Added bonus - we all participated in rigging the lines for hauling in the lake trout. Highly recommended.

Great experience with Brandon at Rifle Gap. Booking was simple—he was easy to reach, responsive, and flexible with location. He gave us good options based on what we were looking for, which was steady action for our kids. We caught over a dozen fish across four species. Brandon clearly knows the lake—he could often tell what we had on the line before we reeled it in. The whole family had a great time and we’ll definitely book with him again.

My 2 sons fished with Brandon on Friday, July 11th at Rifle Gap. They are avid fishermen and used words like “incredible” and “awesome” and “my new best friend” to describe Brandon. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, friendly and patient guide.

My brother and I had a great time with Brandon. He put us on the fish right away, and we even landed a nice pike. We caught some big trout and walleye too. As a guy who has been on a handful of fishing charters, I would absolutely recommend Brandon to anyone from first timers to experienced fishermen. He is an expert guide and a great person, and I hope to fish with him again if I’m in the area.

Fantastic guide. Super knowledgeable and patient. My 2 boys are pretty hard to impress and they both absolutely loved Brandon. 10/10 and will fish with him again!

– Jeff Johnson

Incredible guy and incredible time out on the water. We had a blast catching some huge rainbows, nice walleye, and a 35 inch pike. Highly recommend this guide service to anyone in the area.

Amazing experience. Our guide was Cael, he was amazing and knowledgeable. We told him what we were trying to target and he had plenty of methods hooking us up on fish all day long. Taught me some new things and pointers along the way. Overall amazing experience

– Gage Buckethal

Brandon is a total pro! Super friendly and knowledgeable, tailors a trip to fit exactly what you're looking for, then puts you right on the fish all day long. We had a blast!


Update on 7/2/25: We booked with Apex again for the second year in a row. Went out with Cael this time, another amazing guide. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and obviously passionate about fishing. Listened to our requests on what we were interested in catching, and then had us pulling all kinds of fish into the boat all day long. Truly memorable experience! We learned a lot while having a ton of fun.

– Tom Buckethal

We had a great time with the company again! This was our second trip we booked with them and it went great. Our guide Cael was there and ready when we arrived, and we started catching fish immediately after hitting the water. We didn’t get the monster we were hoping for this time but we caught 5 different species in only 3 hours! What a great way to spend the afternoon!
