Meet Brian Cone, captain of the Contagious Charter.
Even a rough day runs smooth on the Contagious Charter. In the Florida Keys, Captain Brian Cone has earned a reputation as the hot hand for offshore fishing. Fish with him and you don’t just catch fish, you learn his techniques and what makes him such an expert at finding them.
His passion for fishing and his easy way with customers, young and old, make every day on the water one to remember.
Captain Brian grew up in the Keys, exploring the ocean from the time he was a little tyke. After graduating from college, Brian couldn’t wait to get back to the Florida Keys and his real love: fishing. As a kid, he got to know the local captains who knew how to go that extra mile and come back with record-book catches. Cone learned well from them. Now, still in his early 30s, he’s the one anglers young and old love to listen to.
Those early years on the ocean gave him a special understanding of and love for the water, and turned a passion into a rewarding career. Cone has been featured on ESPN and in many fishing publications, including Saltwater Sportsman, Center Console, and Men’s Journal.
Since he was a young teenager, Cone’s name has shown up at the top of the leaderboard at local fishing tournaments again and again. Book a trip with Brian on the Contagious and count on a great day on the water.
