5 Hour Trip – Nearshore on November 17, 2024

Captain Eric was great. Took my 13 year old and a couple of his friends for his birthday. We were catching fish all day, and captain Eric made the whole process easy and seamless.

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore on July 31, 2022

We booked a great trip for our family of 6. Eric was a fantastic captain, attentive to everyone, making sure we were in good fishing spots, was extremely knowledgeable about the fish, the area and all the questions we had! He even took us to a nice shallow area where we could jump in and swim. Filleted our fish at the end of the trip. Very personable, highly recommend!!
