    amazing trip

    6 Hour Trip – Backcountry Trip • 2 adults

    My 14 yr old son and I caught our quota of Trout in the first hour. That allowed the captain to open up options on where to go and how to fish. We caught probably 20 fish in 6 hours including a lemon shark my son hooked. This was the most productive fishing charter I have booked so far. I would book with this boat again if the opportunity arises.

    Bad weather.. great fishing!

    6 Hour Trip – Backcountry Trip • 3 adults

    Capt. Eric put us on fish right away. A storm rolled in and we had to end the day early. The time we had on the water was amazing. Capt. Eric put us on the fish and it was the best fishing we’ve had during our trip to Key Largo. You want this guy to take you fishing!

    Great couple of hours catching Sharks

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) • 4 adults

    Highly recommend Eric and his son Dillon. We booked a short trip for the family to target sharks and it delivered. Dillon was really knowledgable and super friendly/helpful. Wish we had longer - would go again!
