Member since March 2017 Fort Myers Beach, United States

Background: Captain Barry has fished the local waters for a long time and knows how important it is not just to put you on the fish, but to make your day fun, too. He has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgeable about the different fish species, techniques, and the local waters. He is also very good at transferring that knowledge onto his guests if they are interested in knowing more. So don't be shy, ask away and you will receive mind-blowing answers.
Techniques: Spin casting with both shrimp and artificial lures. Fly fishing is fun too.

Had a great day fishing with my two boys. Captain was very knowledgeable and put us onto all sorts of fish. I believe we ended up landing 12 different species in only 4 hours! Highly recommended.

Captain Barry promised multiple species of fish and he delivered. I thought that I knew a lot about fishing, but he taught us tips and tricks that I will probably take credit for when I show them to friends.

Thanks for the great review Abe! You guys were a pleasure to fish with and I look forward to the next time. You really picked up the techniques like you’d always been doing them! The weird species were the hit of the day: Lizardfish, Mudfish, and Puffer. The Gafftop was a real fighter too! Take are, Capt. Barry
