I told the captain the only thing I wanted was to catch sea trout and reds. I didn't care how or where, just wanted to do it. He promised it would happen, and man was he right! We had an awesome day knocking 2 species off my list. It was a great day. He will take care of you.

Captain Eloy went above and beyond, doing the little things it took to get us into fish. We caught our limits of trout and even one over the slot that we photographed and released. We also caught lots of red drum just under the size limit. It was an outstanding day on the water. Captain Eloy was knowledgeable and professional. Would definitely come back and book another trip with him.

We had an incoming tropical storm and the fish appeared to have lock jaw. We were able to put a trout in the box and Captain was not afraid to burn some fuel to try to find some more. Great attitude and fun company. Will definitely book him again!
