    Excellent fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 1 adult

    Capt Eric is a highly experienced fishing guide with an excellent boat and gear. I had a great time trying new techniques for several different types of fish. The snook were not biting but the Capt did his best to hook ne up. Highly recommend!

    January fishing trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adults

    My teenage son lives on NC, and was down to visit for the holidays so part of this xmas gift was a day fishing. Captain Eric was an awesome guide. Its probably the worst time off year for inshore fishing but we got some Spanish, it was a great time. Captain Eric is just a great guy and at the end of the day I got exactly what I wanted, quality time with my son!!

    Response from Captain

    thank you,enjoyed fishing with you guys

    Half day trip with Captain Eric

    Half Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 2 adults • 1 child

    It was just me and my son (8) we had a great time. Captain Eric was friendly, knowledgeable and helped us catch a bunch of fish. We also saw about 20 dolphins which was such a fun bonus. We will be back again!

    So happy. Best money I’ve ever spent!! So worth the $. The captain is a retired fireman. He is a tour guide/lifetime fisherman/surfer/local resident. He was amazing and we had a fantastic time. THANK YOU for the memory of a lifetime!!

    Captain Eric taught us a lot about fishing and being on the ocean waters. We had so much fun! His boat is well equipped for a great day on the water. We will most definitely be contacting him for our next fishing trip!

Can't bear eating another turkey? Bag yourself some delicious Flounder or Grouper instead! If you fancy something bigger, there are huge Wahoo offshore, just begging for a teaser to chase.
