    Great day with an intuitive Captain

    6 Hour Trip - Fishing on May 27, 2020 • 1 adult

    Eric is by far one of the best guides in western Florida. He is a very intuitive angler and knows where to look for fish. You could call it luck, but I think it had more to do with his experience. We nailed down at least 10 Snook, as well as a few other species. In addition to his knowledge, he has the right demeanor, sense of humor and patience. No matter what your experience level is as an angler, Reelentless is the way to go!

    Great Morning!

    4 Hour Trip - Fishing (AM) on October 13, 2019 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Discovered Reelentless Pursuit from this site. Our family could not have been more pleased. Eric’s communication was fast and thorough. We had six people, four adults and two children. All of us fished comfortably and Eric was an expert at managing the two children’s set ups while also handling the boat and the fish we kept catching. He took us to three spots, two were in the bay and one was a few miles off the coast. At every spot we caught fish. He also taught us the correct technique for setting the hook as the snappers were sneaky at nipping at our shrimp. Eric is a very nice gentleman who cares about his clients catching fish and having a good experience. He does not price gouge. In fact our time did not start until our fishing line to the water. I have used two other guys in the past for various types of fishing. They do not compare to this experience. Eric was the best by far. He has extensive knowledge of the area and the fishery. I am seriously considering coming back to Sanibel Island just to do a fly fishing trip with him. We were 100% satisfied with the entire experience with Eric. Some of the fish we caught included; Red fish Snapper, two different types Grouper, two different types Sea trout Blue runners Jacks Squirrel fish Lizard fish

    We hired Captain Eric to captain our boat.

    on December 3, 2017

    After many years of successful fishing on Captain Eric’s boat, we hired him to take our family boat with 6 of our family members out for a day of fishing. Boy was I happy. I was able to relax and fish without any worries and my family was more likely happier than me. Lol Captain Eric’s commercial fishing license covered everyone on our boat. That was great not having to buy additional fishing licenses for each person. I could go on and on about the great experience Captain Eric brings to the boat. You will not be disappointed if you hire him!!! Thanks again, Captain Eric. Joe K.

    4 Hour Trip - Fishing (PM) on December 29, 2018 • 4 adults

    Great experience! Captain Eric was so great with the kids. Our most reluctant Fisher even said fishing is kinda fun!!! Very patient and helpful. Even came to our resort marina to pick us up. Fish weren’t biting great but we caught enough for supper:). Thanks again for a great day out in the water.

    Day Trip

    4 Hour Trip - Shelling (AM) on December 2, 2017

    We had a great time with Captain Eric! He was so fun and laid back as well as knowledgeable about the area and things we wanted to do. He was able to take us to great places for snorkeling and shelling. We were also able to see a lot of great wildlife. We will definitely use him when we come back and highly recommend him to others!!

    Most memorable fishing trips ever!

    4 Hour Trip - Fishing (AM) on November 15, 2017

    I have been on a few charters with Captain Eric and each time we have done great. He is always organized and prepared with a plan. We've gotten big tarpon in May, big snook, lots of redfish and trout along with many other species. Always a great time and I highly recommend him!!

    Best Captain on Boatsetter

    4 Hour Trip - Fishing (AM) on June 26, 2020 • 6 adults

    Capt Eric accommodated myself and 5 others with ease all day. He made sure our lines were in the water at all times and fully baited, even trying different bait on different rods to try and catch a bunch of different fish. This day was a bit slow but that wasn’t Captain Eric’s fault as he took us to a bunch of different spots trying to make up for the slow day. Eventually he decided since the fish weren’t biting that the sharks might. AND BOY DID THEY. We fought an 8ft nurse shark for close to 45 minutes! Awesome experience and we even got a to stay out past our original return time. Will definitely be back!
