My best friend Brian and I had an AMAZING day on the water thanks to Ricky!  We did the 6 hours offshore and went up to 25 miles.  Ricky has great spots and knows exactly where to catch fish.  His 31’ Contender is solid and will get you to the spots fast.  We tried a few spots for bait fish and it was slow, but he took us to spots where we could definitely get some and we did.  Once we got loaded with bait fish, the bigger fish kept coming on! Some of the big fish highlights were 2 Red Snapper, 1 Amberjack, and 1 Red Grouper!  Ricky has a great setup and we will definitely use him in the future.  If you are looking to catch big fish look no further!

We had a great trip! He is the best! Very knowledgeable and helpful! We felt safe and my boys had an amazing experience! Everyone caught a large fish. We were able to keep the larger ones and Captain Rick filleted it like a pro! We ate it same night. He baited the lines for us and made the experience memorable. He called us day before to make sure we knew all the details which was very helpful. He was constantly moving and helping everyone aboard.

Great day fishing with Captain Ricky and First Mate Josh. We are so thankful for the opportunity to fish with these guys. Very knowledgeable and had us on fish quickly. Even when all the other charters around us headed back in to the dock without any bites, let alone any fish on the boat.
I have chartered a few different trips in the past and one of my biggest concerns has always been the personality of the crew. That can make or break a trip if you get someone that is not very personable. Captain Ricky is great! Easy to talk to during transit and downtime. Very patient as well. We had some first timers without much experience and he did a great job teaching them how to fish offshore.
If you are looking for a great crew on a nice boat and some fish to bring home, Captain Ricky is the man. See you next time and maybe I can get you up to Iowa some winter to hunt whitetail deer.
