Captain Terry was awesome! He was so knowledgeable, experienced and patient. He helped us with everything and made catching lots of big keepers so easy and fun!! He also taught us knots, techniques for future fishing and shared some great fishing tips. He fileted all the fish and reccomened a great local spot that cooked it for us. It was delicious and love our memories with Capt. Terry
Thanks again Amy for choosing me for your guide on your family fishing trip. It was great spending time with everyone and fishing together.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I wish I could give 10 stars!) Our experience with Captain Terry was nothing short of exceptional!!! From start to finish, he was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time, took the time to teach us the techniques we didn’t know anything about, and put us right on the fish. He really knew exactly where to go and worked hard to make sure we had an unforgettable day and let me tell you, it definitely paid off! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and welcoming. You can truly tell he cares about his clients having a meaningful and memorable experience, not just giving a successful trip. My partner and I made amazing memories out on the water and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fishing charter! Thanks again, Captain Terry! :)
Thank you kindly Gracie! I totally enjoyed the afternoon with you and Alex
I booked with Capt Terry because of his reputation with families and children and he did not disappoint! The group was myself, my daughter, son in law, grandaughter and grandson. It was the childrens very first fishing trip. Capt Terry knew exactly what to do to make the trip child friendly…a short boat ride, a spot out of the cold winter wind and we caught fish! Flounder, red fish, lady fish, and a couple of trout, one a trophy of 23” by my grandson. Terry and 1st mate Jill were polite, patient and encouraging. I highly recommend them for not only family trips any fishing in the Anna Maria / Cortez area.
My son and I had a wonderful fishing trip with Captain Terry. We were able to enjoy a combination of ocean fishing and inland fishing, moving from a hotspot to hotspot to find fish. I lost track of the different types of fish we caught, but it was an amazing experience. We saw sting ray and a manatee too. The location out of Bradenton – Coquina launch could not be better. Hightly recommend this trip if in the Tampa Bay Area.
Great day fishing with Captain Terry! He put us onto Snook and Trout and took us to some amazing fishing spots. He even called ahead to a local restaurant and had them cook up the Trout that he filleted for us — such a great experience! It was our first trip to Anna Maria Island, and we’ll definitely be back — and fishing with Terry again. Thanks for an awesome day on the water!
