  Nice Fishing Day

  6 Hour Trip on August 5, 2026 • 5 adults

  Captain Eddie did everything in his will to get us to the fishing spots and get some keepers. The fish didn’t cooperate. We got some keeper mangrove snappers! Got some Groupers (Goliath, Red), Ladyfish, a good bunch of non-keeper Snappers and the dreaded catfish. Captain Eddie didn’t leave any hook unbaited and helped us have very nice day of fishing. We will be back, and definitely will get in contact with Captain Eddie for another good fishing trip.

  Great Florida fishing experience

  2 hour fishing for beginners - 1:00 PM on March 25, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Eddie was great. He had good communication with me prior to the trip when I reached out to confirm and was friendly and accommodating during the trip. Not all times out on the water are a guarantee to catch fish, but we were able start at a spot and caught quite a few fish, and 9 different species which was great. Overall we had a fun time and would recommend Eddie.

  Perfect Beginner Excursion

  2 hour fishing for beginners - 3:30 PM on March 26, 2026 • 3 adults

  Captain Eddy could not have been a better fit for our party of three. We caught more than 40 fish in a short, two hour trip. Eddy anchored us in a channel just south of Marco, and the fish were thick. Plus the 12 minute trip from dock to fishing spot was beautiful. All in all an ourstanidng afternoon, and I'd highly recommend Eddy to others.

  Fun for both experienced and beginners

  3 hour inshore fishing - 3:00 PM on March 25, 2026 • 6 adults • 4 children

  Capt. Eddy was great, got us right on the fish. we caught a variety and even brought some home for dinner. overall, I would highly recommend taking this charter. We had a mix of experienced and beginners, but everyone had a great time. Download the Fishing Booker App prior to going because the cell service on the island is terrible depending on your carrier.

  one of those days…

  4hour inshore fishing - 12:30 PM on February 17, 2026 • 2 adults

  Captain Eddy worked hard to put us on the fish with different techniques at various locations, depths and tidal flows. Larger fish just weren’t biting, as evidenced by just a couple fish being cleaned by numerous captains back at the dock. By comparison, we threw back one small keeper and numerous fish of four different species that were too small to keep. Note that we rated the overall experience as 4 stars due to the lack of biting fish, not due to any deficiency by Eddy, but the captain and boat as 5 stars. It was not his fault that they weren’t biting for anyone that day.
