    Liked It So Much - Did It Again

    6hr– Offshore (up to 9mile) on November 9, 2025

    While my old Navy friend was in town, a 1/2 Day Inshore trip was booked with Captain Eddie at the helm. I'm an experienced fishermen, my pal, not so much - Didn't matter. Captain Eddie took care of him. Whether baiting, coaching, or all around helping out, Captain Eddie was observant and approachable. We had such a good time we booked again, this time for our units' reunion, a 3/4 Day Offshore trip. Let me tell you, the fish were caught like they were going out of style. Highly recommend Captain Eddie and Mama Tried Fishing Again.

    Great Day Fishing!

    Half Day Trip – Reef Special (PM) on November 3, 2025

    My family went out and the guys had a GREAT time making big catches. Captain Eddy was amazing. He knows the area so well and was so helpful. He made everyone feel like an experienced angler! Loved his insight on the area and all the great spots to go. I am not much of a fishing girl, but he was patient and helpful in getting me up to speed. I was so excited when I caught my first one! I highly recommend Mama Tried Fishing Again for an amazing experience. Great for all ages. Next time I want to bring the kids!

    Capt Eddie is a real pro

    Half Day Trip – Reef Special (PM) on March 31, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Beautiful new boat with all the newest tech. Expert captain. Caught lots of fish. New tackle. Captain was great with the kids. Would definitely go back again if we return to Anna Maria Island. This trip great for all ages and experience levels. Just show up and catch fish. We will be eating our keepers for dinner tomorrow. Captain Eddie cut up the fish and put them on ice for us. Ge even gave us a recipe to cook our catch. Lots of free parking near the marina. Cant wait to rebook.

    Great Captain, bad day fishing is better than good day working!

    Half Day Trip – Reef Special (PM) on June 2, 2026 • 4 adults

    It was just one of those fishing days. First the wind prevented us from getting the 625$ trip we paid for and got knocked down to the 600$ trip without reimbursement but i get it, i guess not there fault. Captain Eddie did a fantastic job trying to turn a bad day fishing into a better day. All we caught were catfish and 1 seatrout. I can't day enough about the Captain and our equipment it just wasn't in the cards for us that day.

    Highly Recommend Captain Mike!

    Half Day Trip – Reef Special (AM) on December 25, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Captain Mike brought us to the best fishing spots. We caught over 50 fish and several different species. We were able to keep 20+. He was very knowledgeable and made the experience well worth it! He equipped us with all the bait, poles, and essentials. I would highly recommend the offshore excursion if you’re looking for a fun time!

Captian Eddie and Mamma Tried Again was Wonderful!
6hr– Offshore (up to 9mile) on June 25, 2026 • 3 adults

This was my family’s first time Ocean Fishing and I could not have asked for a better Captian or trip. Captian Eddie was Amazing. Was the full package. Fun, attentive, knowledgeable, and just a great guy. Could bot ask for a better Captian for our first trip! We caught so many different species and filled our cooler for dinner that night! Such a great time and amazing time!
