Great New years

6 Hour Trip – Back Bay on December 31, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children

Captain Ethan was great with communication from the start. He worked around the cold weather to make sure we were able to fish. During the trip he kept my 14 and 9 yr old engaged with great stories, and fishing lessons. I personally felt that I not only learned more about fishing, but spent the day getting to know a really great person. He had a great knowledge of the area, and many fishing techniques which he was happy to share with us. I'm looking forward to fishing with him in the future, and so are my boys.

Great Captain

4 Hour Trip – Back Bay on April 1, 2026 • 3 adults

Had a great trip with my two teenage kids. We didn’t catch the fish we were hoping for but my son hooked into a huge shark for a great fight. We had a great time and will definitely book this one again. Captain was knowledgeable and fun and super personable!

Tarpon, Trout & Ladyfish

4 Hour Trip – Back Bay on December 28, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

Captain Ethan put us on fish and we had a great time.  Landed our first Tarpon ever and saw plenty others along with a manatee.

He did great with my 2 daughters and they learned a lot and caught quite a few fish.

Will definitely save his number to go out with him again.
