    Great Fishing!!

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Terry was awesome! He was so knowledgeable, experienced and patient. He helped us with everything and made catching lots of big keepers so easy and fun!! He also taught us knots, techniques for future fishing and shared some great fishing tips. He fileted all the fish and reccomened a great local spot that cooked it for us. It was delicious and love our memories with Capt. Terry

    The best time ever!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (I wish I could give 10 stars!) Our experience with Captain Terry was nothing short of exceptional!!! From start to finish, he was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He made sure we were comfortable the entire time, took the time to teach us the techniques we didn’t know anything about, and put us right on the fish. He really knew exactly where to go and worked hard to make sure we had an unforgettable day and let me tell you, it definitely paid off! The boat was clean and well-maintained, and the atmosphere was relaxed, fun, and welcoming. You can truly tell he cares about his clients having a meaningful and memorable experience, not just giving a successful trip. My partner and I made amazing memories out on the water and can’t wait to book again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fishing charter! Thanks again, Captain Terry! :)

    Great Memories Made With Capt Terry

    Half Day Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    I booked with Capt Terry because of his reputation with families and children and he did not disappoint! The group was myself, my daughter, son in law, grandaughter and grandson. It was the childrens very first fishing trip. Capt Terry knew exactly what to do to make the trip child friendly…a short boat ride, a spot out of the cold winter wind and we caught fish! Flounder, red fish, lady fish, and a couple of trout, one a trophy of 23” by my grandson. Terry and 1st mate Jill were polite, patient and encouraging. I highly recommend them for not only family trips any fishing in the Anna Maria / Cortez area.

    Reported catch:
    Speckled Trout
    Sheepshead
    Redfish

    Spectacular day

    3/4 Day Trip • 2 adults

    My son and I had a wonderful fishing trip with Captain Terry. We were able to enjoy a combination of ocean fishing and inland fishing, moving from a hotspot to hotspot to find fish. I lost track of the different types of fish we caught, but it was an amazing experience. We saw sting ray and a manatee too. The location out of Bradenton – Coquina launch could not be better. Hightly recommend this trip if in the Tampa Bay Area.
