Nice Fishing Day
6 Hour Trip on August 5, 20265 adults

Captain Eddie did everything in his will to get us to the fishing spots and get some keepers. The fish didn’t cooperate. We got some keeper mangrove snappers! Got some Groupers (Goliath, Red), Ladyfish, a good bunch of non-keeper Snappers and the dreaded catfish. Captain Eddie didn’t leave any hook unbaited and helped us have very nice day of fishing. We will be back, and definitely will get in contact with Captain Eddie for another good fishing trip.

4hour Fishing/shelling on July 30, 20262 adults4 children

We had a great morning on the water with Captain Eddy! We found a whole bag full of shells 🐚 then caught more fish than we couls count. Eddy was great. He was personable, experienced, and made sure we had a good time. We would definitely recommend and hope to make it out with him again one day!

Great Florida fishing experience
2 hour fishing for beginners - 1:00 PM on March 25, 20262 adults

Captain Eddie was great. He had good communication with me prior to the trip when I reached out to confirm and was friendly and accommodating during the trip. Not all times out on the water are a guarantee to catch fish, but we were able start at a spot and caught quite a few fish, and 9 different species which was great. Overall we had a fun time and would recommend Eddie.

Reported catch:
Blacktip Shark

Perfect Beginner Excursion
2 hour fishing for beginners - 3:30 PM on March 26, 20263 adults

Captain Eddy could not have been a better fit for our party of three. We caught more than 40 fish in a short, two hour trip. Eddy anchored us in a channel just south of Marco, and the fish were thick. Plus the 12 minute trip from dock to fishing spot was beautiful. All in all an ourstanidng afternoon, and I'd highly recommend Eddy to others.

Response from Captain

Fun for both experienced and beginners
3 hour inshore fishing - 3:00 PM on March 25, 20262 adults4 children

Capt. Eddy was great, got us right on the fish. we caught a variety and even brought some home for dinner. overall, I would highly recommend taking this charter. We had a mix of experienced and beginners, but everyone had a great time. Download the Fishing Booker App prior to going because the cell service on the island is terrible depending on your carrier.

Reported catch:
Ladyfish
