Great experience for some first timers
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on September 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenOur family of 4 had a great time. We caught 7 Goliath grouper, snapper, nurse shark, and another type of shark - along with lots of bait fish. Captain Erix was amazing with my 2 kids and made sure we all had a great time. I’d definitely recommend and would go again. He made the entire trip fun and we had some great memories and conversation.
Dan Mcfadden5.0VerifiedWonderful first-time ocean fishing for my 6YO!
2 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 22, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childAn amazing experience and would definitely recommend! Captain Erix is fantastic, personable, and knows exactly where the fish should be. He also made the time special for my son who never had fished on the ocean before. We caught tons of catfish and bonnethead sharks! Definitely looking forward to a longer excursion next time.
John Nelson5.0VerifiedAwesome Day
2 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Erix had us catching fish within 2 minutes of making the first cast. For the next 2 hours there was non stop action and the trusty Skipper never missed a beat. Between taking fish off of our lines and rebaiting hooks he hustled every second. Plenty of catfish, ladyfish, and a bonnet head shark. Highly recommended.
Andrew Runion5.0VerifiedNewAwesome Trip!

Erix is the best!
2 Hour Trip – Inshore - 2:00 PM on July 24, 2026 • 3 adultsErix was a super fun guy to be around! we were cracking jokes right off the bat and he put us on the fish immediately. we probably pulled up about 70 catfish and a few shark. Everytime we got a fish off he was super quick to take the fish off and he was super fast at baiting the hook. Definitely recommend Erix
John Bonk5.0Verifiedkids first fishing trip big success
2 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 3, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenErix was great. The olny issue is that i think we may have setthe bar too hih for future fishig trips. It was my frst time taking my 8 and 11 year old out and thy both had a great time. Erix was very understanding of them being rookies and made sure we had a blast.

Captain Erix put us on nice trout and catfish today. He was so good with my two grandchildren. We kept him busy baiting and taking the fish off of the hooks. He has a new boat and had very good tackle for us to use. I highly recommend Erix as your guide. My grandson asked if there were Hammerhead Sharks in the area, because that was his dream to catch one. He did catch one and so did I. We warmed up catching a ton of catfish. He was very knowledgeable of the areas we fished. Oh and by the way, the fish we caught and he clean for us were delicious. Erix is a good Christian Man. Tight lines!!
thank you very much, James. It was my pleasure fishing with you and your family. It made my day this morning. Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed your fish. God bless.
Our first father-and-son fishing charter was an amazing experience! The weather was perfect, making for a great day on the water. Captain Erix was fantastic—patient, knowledgeable, and an excellent teacher. He took the time to explain everything and made sure we both had a great experience, whether it was learning new techniques or landing fish. We made some unforgettable memories together and couldn't have asked for a better first charter. Highly recommend!
wow, thank you Scott. for your kind words I always try to do my best for my customers. Thank you again. I enjoyed our trip today. It was a blast. Thanks again. Scott
Captain Erix should be your first choice when looking for someone to take you fishing for the day. Erix was knowledgeable, kind, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time on the water. We caught too many fish to count, and a couple we had never seen before! He took the time to take us to a couple different spots to catch a variety of fish. He was patient with our 3 kids and helped all of us when needed. We can’t wait to do it all again! Also- we’ve never seen a boat so clean! Thank you Erix for a fun Christmas Eve Morning! ~Heather ( Brandon, Carter, Kennedi, and Tenley)
