We had a great time. We said we wanted to catch Crappies and Captain Rick put us on them. We landed 10 crappie and a Bluegill. We landed even more big bass, but released them. Great Day!!!

Captain Rick is a native Floridian, and one of his first fishing memories is going after Bass in the Everglades. He's been fishing the offshore waters near Sebastian since the seventies and has learned quite a lot in that time.

    Husband & I had a great time with Captain Rick. He put us right where the fish were biting, gave helpful tips & instruction (especially for a total novice like me), was patient & knowledgeable. We caught fish the whole time & totally enjoyed our time on the water. This was a Christmas present for the hubby & it was perfect! Thanks Captain Rick!
