Team Bow’d Up

Captain Brady Bowman

Captain Brady is one of the best storytellers on the docks and no wonder he has so many good stories–he’s been fishing out of Destin-Fort Walton Beach for 35 years. Team Bow’d Up doesn’t try to hide it–they like to have fun but they also love to win.

Tell us about your first mate.
