angler's choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Captain Cody has been fishing since he was a boy, but started to do this professionally in 2006. Born and raised in Florida, he's a second generation of fishermen. He realized that people love to go fishing, but they don't have the ability to do it on their own, so he decided to make it easy for them. He taught many people how to fish, especially children. It's always an exciting experience when they catch their first fish.

HOOKED!

Fantastic first time experience! Captain Cody is amazing! Very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, and most of all fun! We had a great afternoon on the water and caught a ton of fish...one after another, after another. He had a hard time keeping up with us :) His boat and fishing gear were very clean and he had all the safety features and life preservers required. He was very patient & made the experience all the better by explaining to us the types of fish we were catching, the waters,...
