    So much fun!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Eric was an awesome captain. We caught a variety of fish: snapper, grouper, catfish, hammerhead shark, sheephead, pompano, blowfish, and sea robin. There were a ton of dolphins that swam near or right up on the boat for over an hour. Eric assisted with everything on board and during to make the 4hr trip enjoyable and successful. We had plans right after, so we caught/released, but Eric would have cleaned them for us if we wanted to keep the fish. We would highly recommend Eric and his fishing adventure.

    Reported catch:
    Sheepshead
    Pompano
    Redfish
    Mangrove Snapper

    Great Family Fun

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing day out on the water with Cpt Eric. We caught a bunch of species of fish at every spot Eric took us to. He was great and very patient with our young children and the two seniors we had with us. I would reccomend Cpt Eric to any families looking for a great time and wanting to make some memories!

    Great Day with BonitaFish Charters

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Captain Eric did a great job putting us onto fish early in our trip. We caught several species of fish including sheepshead, catfish, snapper and coolest of all bonnet head sharks. we also scored a speckeled trout. He helped us all with our technique of hooking and landing our fish. Overall a great day and I recommend BonitaFish Charters for your next backcountry fishing trip.

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Bonnethead Shark
    Sheepshead
