Captains
Capt. William Bradford
Known as Capt. Willy B, William Bradford has run trips with Super Strike Charters since 2010 and remains a core part of our team. He commands a 37’ Freeman powered by quad 300 HP Yamahas and consistently puts clients on the Gulf’s top species. Capt. Willy targets Yellowfin Tuna, Wahoo, Swordfish, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and Amberjack with a sharp, results-driven approach.
His 2024 Freeman delivers both speed and comfort, featuring Starlink internet and the latest Simrad electronics, including radar, chartplotter with 3D bottom, Sirius, and fish finder. Quad 300 Yamahas push cruise speeds up to 50 mph when conditions allow, getting you to the action fast. A massive fish coffin stores your catch, while Esea Rider bean bags keep the ride smooth offshore.
Capt. Bob Kenney
With over 30 years of commercial and recreational experience, Capt. Bob Kenney brings a deep skill set to our team. He focuses on offshore fishing, targeting Yellowfin Tuna, Swordfish, Wahoo, and Mahi Mahi, while also dialing in on Red Snapper, Grouper, Cobia, and Amberjack when in season.
Capt. Bob runs a 2023 37’ Freeman powered by quad 300 HP Yamahas. This setup delivers speed and range, allowing him to reach prime grounds like the Mississippi Canyon and Viosca Knoll quickly and comfortably while maximizing fishing time.
Capt. Scott King
Capt. Scott King brings over 35 years of Gulf Coast experience and has run trips with Super Strike Charters since 2012 as a key member of our team. He specializes in offshore fishing and targets a full range of pelagic and reef species with consistency and precision.
He operates one of our 37’ Freeman catamarans powered by quad 300 HP Yamaha outboards. Each trip benefits from advanced onboard technology, including weather radar, fish finders, depth sounders, AIS, and 3D bottom imaging with shading relief, giving him a clear edge on the water.

State water snapper limits currently sit at four per person.
