Eric was a great guide/skipper.  Very knowledgeable and a good teacher. We caught lots of fish (bass, sharks, rays) and he seemed to know how to find them. Communication prior to the trip was lacking. We found out that CA fishing licenses would be required the day before our trip and we spent 1-1/2 hours trying to buy licenses online at the CA website.  Fishers should download the CA fisheries app which makes the process a little easier.  Also, request that Eric text you the coordinates for...

Eric, our captain is amazing. He knows the fishing business like nobody else he’s very organized very efficient and knows how to catch fish. He knows where the fish are. He’s very professional kind and courteous my son cut about 13 fish, different species, including shark bass halibut, etc. I highly recommend Eric we tried to book him again, but he’s booked up for at least a week. We’re still gonna try to go out again if possible.

Eric made it another great day on the Bay!  His in depth knowledge of the tides, trends, colors, bottom, and what’s where and when translates into nonstop action.  He made sure we got the fish we wanted for the table and two sharks, a 5’ leopard and a 6’ soupfin, for the challenge ... just like we had hoped for.

The kids are still talking about the fishing trip we had with Risen Tide.  Captain Eric was patient and knew all the right spots to catch fish and a variety of sharks.  I highly recommend this trip.

Took our 13 and 9yr old out for second year and they are already looking forward to coming back out again next time we head to Solana. Eric is an excellent guide and wonderful with the kids. Would highly recommend!
