Capt. Eduardo runs trips out of Goodland aboard a 25' Contender. These waters are known for Redfish and Snook and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're bottom fishing or jigging. With extensive knowledge and experience, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

    Nice Fishing Day

    6 Hour Trip • 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.

    Reported catch:

    Mangrove Snapper

    one of those days…

    4hour inshore fishing - 12:30 PM • 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.

    Thanks for the great review. We tried our best and I know next time will be better.

    More fish than we could count!

    4hour Fishing/shelling • 6 adults • 4 children

    We had a great morning on the water with Captain Eddy! We found a whole bag full of shells 🐚 then caught more fish than we couls count. Eddy was great. He was personable, experienced, and made sure we had a good time. We would definitely recommend and hope to make it out with him again one day!

Great redfish bite today

Today we caught plenty of fish. Fish of the day was definitely redfish. This is the time of the year that redfish starts showing up in numbers and today was a perfect example. We also caught snook and snapper and a bunch of other bycatch.

Our trips have been challenging with the conditions but we’ve still made it happen. We had to move around more from spot to spot. But when we found them it was good times.
