I come from a spectacular fishing family! I knew at a very young age I wanted to fish. I strive to make sure my customers end up with a great box of fish and have a wonderful time doing it! I eat,sleep and breathe fishing!

    Great time with an awesome captain

    3 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    Really had a great time with Captain Erik. For the price, it was worth every penny. All his fishing spots had fish and my 6 and 9 year old had an absolute blast. They didnt want to leave at the end. I recommend doing at least a 3 hour trip. It takes time to get to the fishing spots and sometimes it takes a few minutes to find the fish. His boat was great, i would say 4 people plus the captain is the max you would want. But the biggest thing is the captain was great and we had a blast. We will be using Captain Erik everytime we want to charter. Thanks again Captain Erik, see you next time!

    Hands down best fishing trip yet.

    3 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults

    Our first trip got canceled by our captain the night before we were supposed to go out. rescheduled with Erik Davis w tidewater for the wrong date thought we would have to cancel the whole trip since we were only here for a few days, Erik rearranged his schedule after he had already been out all day and took us out for a 3 hour trip. We caught lots of fish and his wife was so nice she brought us bait when we ran out. Can't thank Erik and his wife enough great trip all around. Thanks again erik.

    Great Experience from start to finish!

    4 Hour Trip – Night • 4 adults

    We had a great experience from start to finish! The commitment to communication by Erik was top notch. He was awesome about making sure we had everything we needed for a complete experience. We chose to do a night fishing outing as it was a new experience for us in the area and he did not disappoint. Erik is a consummate professional with years of experience and it shows. I would highly recommend any of his services whether you are new to fishing or a seasoned angler he will make sure you have a great experience.

    Caught the limit!!

    4 Hour Trip – Day • 3 adults • 1 child

    Took my youngest son out for his first trip, and he had a blast. Started out slow, but then got in the trout and had the limit by 7:45! Moved on to try for some redfish but they managed to outsmart us. We still had a ball and can't wait to cookup all these speckled trout. Definitely recommend!

    Great trip!

    Introduction to Saltwater Fishing • 2 adults • 1 child

    Great first trip for my girl! We caught some great keepers to eat (black drum and whiting) and even had a good fight with a 30+ pounder. We were on the fish and most definitely will book again when back this way! Thanks to Captain Erik for a great trip!
