When life gives you lemons 🍋 (WIND), just make lemonade. The windy conditions today meant poor conditions most areas, but Captain Fred had a plan. I’ve always wanted to catch a Peacock Bass and thats what he suggested. Canal fishing for Peacocks and Snook. While the Snook eluded us, the Peacock bass were on fire 🔥. My wife even got into the the action which was great! I’ve fished with a lot of captains around south Florida, some great and some not so much. I’ll fish with Captain Gowdy again soon that’s for sure and I highly recommend him for your day an the water. Until then, tight lines! Thanks again for a great day!

I had an excellent experience with this charter. The captain was ready and waiting for me at the appointed time. I had originally booked a trip for the day after a cold front went through. The Captain contacted me and offered to push the trip back one day for warmer water and weather, which was a great choice. We trolled for jack crevalle at the start and end of the charter, but no luck today. We then went out to one of the bays for sheepshead. We had good luck, with five decent keepers and a number of smaller fish. The rods and reels were top flight snd worked flawlessly. The trolling motor on the boat kept us right in our target spot despite a fair amount of wind and a strong tide. Captain Gowdy is friendly and conversant, adding to the enjoyment of the trip. At the end, he skillfully cleaned and bagged the catch. Finally, I am somewhat limited in mobility, and he took extra time and effort to safely and comfortably assist me onto snd off of his boat. I would highly recommend this charter, and plan to book it again myself in the near future.

My 12 year old son and I had a wonderful day with Captain Fred! He took us to so many fishing spots and we were very busy catching fish after fish. He also went above and beyond to teach my son some fishing techniques. I would highly recommend Captain Fred!

We had a great day fishing with captain Fred! He was very knowledgeable and knew all the right places to take us! He was very patient with us! We caught several fish and got ourselves a nice supper for tonight! We will definitely book again with him!

Fred was a great boat captain. He was super friendly to me, my 8 year old son and my uncle, taking us around to several spots he knew would yield fish. My son also caught a 8lb black drum fish and he was so proud. Highly recommend Fred, he was great!
