Capt Cody was awesome! Extremely knowledge and prfessional guide that is fun to be on the boat with. We went out the day after a cold front with winds gusting to 35 knots. He was upfront about the conditions prior to the trip and offered to reschedule. Due to our time line we decided to go out and he ws able to deliver in spite of the conditions. Caught at least 15 snook including 1 upperslot fish that was accidentaly quick released by the angler, some mangrove snapper. and few jacks. Higly recommend and will fish with him again next time we are in the area.
thank you, Scott. It was my pleasure out there doing the best I could with our conditions. Looking forward to our next adventure, Captain Cody.
We went on a 3 hour trip. Captain Cody arrived on time and had gotten bait with his cast net. We tried several spots. He would only stay in a spot for longer than 15 minutes if we were catching fish. He grew up in the area and has good knowledge of the fish and wildlife. He did everything he could to find fish for us. Not so easy on a hot day!
thank you again, Joe! I look forward to fishing with you guys again!
My family did a 6 hour trip with Captain Cody and had a great time! The weather and wind didn’t cooperate to do the typical trip, but Cody had a plan for the weather and still made the day a success. We caught a good variety of fish (including a puffer fish!) and had a really great day! He is very knowledgable about the local ecosystem and gladly shared his knowledge with us, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Captain Cody and will plan future outings with him when we’re in the area!
thank you, Angela! I appreciate those great kind words and it was my pleasure fishing with you guys. I look forward to our next trip already. Thank you again, Captain cody!
We had a group of 6 and Captain Cody handled it wonderfully. He made sure the kids were constantly taken care of, each catching plenty of fish. I brought my parents as well and they are keeping his cards to being others who come visit them her in town. Absolutely would book with Captain Cody again, no hesitation.
thank you, Nicole! Such an awesome day is my pleasure spending it with the family! I look forward to seeing you guys again thank you Captain cody!
Captain Cody is awesome. Got up early and worked hard to find some elusive bait for us. Was patient with all three of our kiddos and helped them all get hooked up on multiple species of fish. Everyone had a blast. Cody stayed engaged the whole trip and told us history of the area as we switched spots. We caught snook, snapper, catfish, redfish, and jack crevalle. Everything about the trip was top notch. Would not hesitate to book again if we are in town!!
such a fun time out there, Roy! Very much, my pleasure and I look forward to fishing with you guys again Thank you, Captain cody
