Captain Ricky gave us a fantastic experience from first booking to final filleting! Ricky’s communication was great. We chatted throughout the week before to plan our trip and select the best day around the weather. Come charter day, we all met at the dock and were off. Ricky got us a quick stop to catch the poagies we’d need for bait then hit the first spot. We caught a bonita and a nice barracuda, but we were hunting down Kingfish, so a change was needed. hut a couple other spots before landing in a big school of kingfish and the day was roaring. With four fishers rotating we had multiple doubles and kept Ricky busy! We landed 8 more kingfish, keeping one smaller one to eat. Our largest was pushing 30lbs with most in thr 20-25lb range. Ricky is a great guy and we all hit it off from the start. Great conversation between fish about hunting, fishing, dirtbikes and everything in between. We all had prior experience with charters and agreed this was by far thr beat experience we’ve had. We are all ready planning our next trip to St Augustine and will be chartering again with Ricky to target the Spring Mahi and try to get a Wahoo trip as well. He is the Wahoo master. You absolutely cant go wrong planning a day with Ricky and Seaco.
we caught king mackerel,red snapper, and a few others. the captain was very knowledgeable very friendly. we had a great time. i would highly recommend this trip to anyone. we had a variety of ages on the boat and it was great for everyone. Anyone who books this trip just get ready to have fun and get ready to catch fish. all you need is some water some food and sunscreen the captain takes care of everything else.
Captain Ricky kept us informed about the weather as the trip approached and called us the night before to let us know we were good to go. The trip was fantastic and we caught at least 20 fish. Captain Rick was super helpful and knowledgeable. He did a great job cleaning the fish and making sure we had a great time.
Captain Rick was a great hoast , unfortunately ocean was too rough that day for offshore fishing but we we enjoyed beautiful surroundings of Tolomato river catching some sharks , trout and whiting. can’t wait to get back out there .wondering experience overall , highly recommend , just don’t forget to take the sunscreen!😎
We had a great trip. Captain Ricky worked hard and put us on some fish. The action was steady all day, and we would definitely go back.
