Captain Terry makes the trip!
Half Day Trip (AM) on June 13, 2025
My son and I went fishing with Captain Terry, and had a blast. The fishing was great but honestly Captain Terry makes the whole experience that much better. He was very knowledgeable and took a true interest in helping us catch some fish. He was exceptional with my son, he took time to explain things to him and helped teach him the correct way to try and reel in the fish. We will definitely be going out with Captain Terry again the next time we are in town for vacation. He supplies everything you need and does a great job at communicating prior to your fishing trip.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 14, 2025
We had a great trip with Captain Terry. We had a good day on trout, fishing some beautiful flats surrounded by mangroves. Caught several snook as well and he went above and beyond in showing my kids plenty of dolphin and manatees. Captain Terry is a good man. Patient, kind and interested in showing your party or family a great time. We couldn’t have been happier. He’s the kind of man you pray for when booking a trip like this. You can’t go wrong with Captain Terry.

Half Day Trip (AM) on April 16, 2025
What an awesome day! Captain Terry and Amy were the best with my son and nephew's. The reviews are true. The (3) kids from 7-11 had a great time. Terry and Amy where amazing with the kids. They went from not knowing what to do to casting and catching fish on their own. Great time great eats at the end of the day. Limited out on trout in just 4 hours. Hope to be back soon. Thanks Capt.
