Captain Brandon Shuler is a true waterman in every sense of the word. From the the time he was little using a bleach bottle as a floatation device to now chasing the largest species of fish and waves around the world, Brandon has been drawn to the water. A dedicated conservationist and educator, Brandon, strives to teach others about the beauty, wonder, and fragility of the ocean.

Brandon grew up fishing freshwater with his dad until 18; then in New Hampshire and Charleston, South Carolina, he was turned on to fishing the back rivers and offshore environs of the Atlantic Ocean. After the College of Charleston, he moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado as a USA Triathlon coach at the Olympic Training Center and was introduced to the art of fly fishing. As they say, from there, the rest is history.

Since returning to Texas from years abroad, Brandon has thrown himself into saltwater fly fishing. Brandon is Getaway Adventures Lodge's resident fly aficionado. Brandon led his clients, in 2006, to two IGFA WR's and 12 Texas State Bluewater Records. Taking Texas Offshore Fly Fishing to new heights, Brandon launched the Deep Blue Fly Experience to create a community of like minded individuals. Brandon is quickly making a name for himself in tight fly fishing circles and strives to push the sport beyond it's current limits.

Outside of his fishing pursuits, Brandon is a published writer in a number of regional and national publications. Currently, fishing partner Stan Nabozny and Brandon are working on a book covering their fishing exploits in the Gulf of Mexico hoping to lure more fly fisherman into the deep blue. Brandon is also the current fly fishing editor for castnshoot.com.
