My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip with Capt Fernando. He is very passionate about his job and cares about his customers. His knowledge of tarpon fishing and explaining why things are doing a specific way made our trip very enjoyable. We managed to catch 4 tarpon and had 2 right beside the boat but got off before Capt Fernando could grab them. I highly recommend this company and Capt Fernando.

Tough condition the day of our trip, rained the whole time and very few Tarpon were being caught. Captain Gaby didn’t stop trying to get us on fish, and with minutes to go on our trip he managed to get my 11 year old son on a nice Tarpon and me on a smaller one. Very appreciative of his effort. His local food recommendations we spot on also😉. Would definitely recommend Captain Gaby.

Trip was good despite fishing being slow. We were in the tarpon the whole time, and we had one bite that didn’t stick. The other boats we were in touch with did about the same. Captain Miguel was a pleasure to fish with. He’s a good fisherman, and you can tell he’s excited to be out there and work hard to get on the fish. I will definitely book with backwater and Captain Miguel again.

We had Captain Miguel who was absolutely awesome!! Helped me get a good technique going quickly, had great advice and tips for casting, targeting, etc. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, my step dad was very impressed at how nimble he was to handle everything and make it looks easy!! Caught 2 Tarpon, 2 snook (MASSIVE ONES) and 1 mangrove snapper. Had the time of my life doing it!!

Our Captain, Adi(sp) was amazing!! He made the trip for us!! He was so personable and very engaging!! He knows his s);&!! Tarpon was bucket list for us and he made it happen!!  Couldn’t ask for more!!
