Highly recommend Eric and his son Dillon. We booked a short trip for the family to target sharks and it delivered. Dillon was really knowledgable and super friendly/helpful. Wish we had longer - would go again!
Eric worked diligently to find bait and put us on fish. Although we didn’t catch a bunch, we managed several species including my first snook. We were pleased. He was quick to retie and rebait, always making sure we had fresh bait. Easy to get along with, we talked life, fishing, and gave us some great recommendations for local food. We chose Capt Craig’s, Eric, and the blackened shrimp and fish dip were superb. I would have no issue returning to use this charter again.
Thanks for the kind words,, I had a nice time fishing with you today,, Looking forward to our next adventure!
Hooked up on massive Tarpon about 30 mins into trip. Fought it for over an hour. Great skills and advice from the captain.
Had a great time with Jacob Scoble we caught what we went for and had a blast doing it! Great captain! I highly recommend the scoble team! We will definitely go again with him!
Fishing with Eric was a great experience! He put us on the fish with our first cast. This was my wife's first fishing trip and Eric made everything very easy for her. We caught lots of fish, we saw lots of animals, and had great conversations all day. We would highly recommend Eric!
Not only did we have a great day catching fish, but we got to see a lot of wildlife in Everglades National Park! It was my pleasure to have you on the boat today. Looking forward to our next trip!
