The charter operator canceled on trip date. This is an automated posting.
First of all we caught a lot of fish! But, more importantly, Capt. Mike called me several days before our charter and wanted to know if, due to the wind and weather, we could move from Thursday to Saturday, in order for the wind to calm down and create flat seas. I checked with my crew and that was fine. Point being, Capt. Mike took the time to make certain our objectives were met and we had a great charter. He has numerous hot spots and his Robalo is a fantastic boat. No regrets!
Thanks Mark we hope to see Y'all again when your Back In Florida, Had alot of fun
Took my wife my son and inlaws out with Eddie. Ocean was very rough Eddie did what he could 9 miles out but then we talked about how it would not be enjoyable as rough as it was. We made the decision to find calmer waters. We caught trout and some spanish macrol. Eddie was great and even extended our trip for the initial delay. Ended up being an enjoyable day. Would book Eddie or Mike again. Thank you Eddie!!!! appreciate the memories!
thanks, and we hope to see y’all again 
It is just what I had hoped for!! family of 6- 4 teenagers who were catching fish and having a blast trying to reel in the big stubborn Groupers! Captain Eddie was fantastic. We will definitely be back and charter with them! You can’t go wrong…
thanks we hope to see y’all again Captain Mike
My son and I went on a 4 hour AM trip and had a blast. Water was a little choppy offshore but we ended up catching about 25 fish, including grunt, a few types of grouper, porgies, puffer fish, sandperch and a few toadfish. Smaller fish but the action was steady. Captain Fast Eddie was great and the boat was clean and well outfitted. Would definitely recomend these guys.
Thanks hope to see Y'all again
