  An awesome trip!

  3/4 day inshore/nearshore on January 17, 2026 • 2 adults

  I've gone with many guides as we travel around the states and to Canada. Met up with Eric Saturday morning and the first stop was just off the shore where we pulled a few small bluefish, lookdown and a few other - nothing significant. Second stop was directly adjacent to a pier but still nothing of worth. Eric reached out to his peers and was told 2 places where the fish were hitting. We chose the inlet due to weather and proximity - what an awesome decision from Eric. Came away with 7 large Red Drum and an awesome memory! Would highly recommend Eric to anyone heading in the Melbourne area.

  10/10 day out on water

  3/4 day inshore/nearshore on March 9, 2026 • 3 adults

  My grandfather, father, and I all went out for a 3/4 near shore/inshore trip. We caught 28 fish! Captain hooked us onto snook right away… jack crevaile too. Then went out and fished some reefs and caught sheepshead and snapper. Tried jigging on way in but couldn’t get any pompano. We had great weather. Captian cleaned fish I believe it was somewhere around 12 fish. Would recommend this trip and plan on doing it in the future. Thanks captain!

  Capt Eric

  Afternoon 3 Hr. on December 5, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

  Capt Eric was great especially with the kids. He got us on several types of fish. No idea what half the stuff was but it was fun. Daughter caught a smaller fish then had a shark latch on to it as she was pulling it up and Capt Eric grabbed the shark with his bare hands. It was my daughters favorite part of our Florida trip. We were reeling more than sitting for sure. I lost count how many we caught. Way better than bass fishing lol.

  Fun family trip

  Half Day Trip inshore/nearshore on April 1, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

  Captain Eric was great to have as a guide. Was a truly enjoyable morning for myself, wife daughter (she's 8) and in-laws. Caught fish and enjoyed good company doing so. Eric is a solid, good, down to earth dude. We're no fishing experts, but felt part of the trip the entire time. Thanks again for everything Captain! Would recommended for any young family looking to enjoy a true fishing experience
