My 14 yr old son and I caught our quota of Trout in the first hour. That allowed the captain to open up options on where to go and how to fish. We caught probably 20 fish in 6 hours including a lemon shark my son hooked. This was the most productive fishing charter I have booked so far. I would book with this boat again if the opportunity arises.
Capt. Eric put us on fish right away. A storm rolled in and we had to end the day early. The time we had on the water was amazing. Capt. Eric put us on the fish and it was the best fishing we’ve had during our trip to Key Largo. You want this guy to take you fishing!
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!
Captain put us on the fish! very knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely will recommend him to friends
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!
