I booked this fishing trip for me and my son had a family friend last minute to do a three-quarter day trip to actually get out and enjoy efficiency. It did not disappoint. We caught tons of blue runners tons of mackerel grouper, tons of exotic fish, red striper, silver striper it got to the point where we almost maxed out on mackerel and just went to try to fix other things. There’s a few times we spun reels with some big barracuda, trying to land them, but we needed more time, unfortunately to troll that style of water.

Will definitely be back for some bigger fish and some deeper sea fishing to do a longer excursion, but the fact that they got us in on a three-quarter day trip last minute was pretty awesome. Highly recommend this gentleman that took us out on the boat and his deck and they both did great and then I’m getting to the point where we were just all fishing The more pulls out the better since we got to keep anything we caught other than exotic and unseasoned fish

After several days of unusual San Francisco-style fog in the area, we were treated to a beautiful warm and sun-filled afternoon of fishing for New Year’s Day.  Captain Brandon was loaded with bait and ready to go early (we showed up 30 min ahead of schedule).  Marina location is a prime spot in the heart of Naples marina.  Easy parking and easy to find the boat.  Captain Brandon is a Naples lifer that has been fishing these waters his whole life… meaning he knows all the ledges, wrecks, and other underwater structures where the fish are hiding.  And he was more than happy to share his knowledge and answer all of our questions about fishing the area throughout the year.  Spent the day about 14 miles out (40-50 feet depth).  Given the time of year, we were bottom fishing and caught loads of snapper (fish tacos for dinner!) and a surprising exotic diversity of species that we released but kept things interesting for the group too.  Nice sized flounder was the surprise catch of the day (another addition to our dinner).  And a few massive Goliath groupers escaped before we could reel them all the way in… but kept everyone excited for the hunt (cue the fish stories).  The crew worked really hard to keep our lines baited and maxed our time fishing.  Fantastic experience for the whole group (6 of us).  Look forward to going back with the same boat and testing spring and summer seasons for other kinds of fish!

If you are looking for a captain and 1st mate that make your offshore fishing experience amazing, look no further than Captain Eric Incorporated.  There was 6 of us in our group. We did the 6 hour offshore trip and if we weren’t getting any bites, Brandon would move to another spot.  Kyle and Brandon did a wonderful job keeping bait on our hooks and removing the fish we caught. Towards the end they wanted our son’s age 14 and 19 to catch a big grouper. That did not disappoint!  Then, they wanted them to catch a Barracuda.  We only caught one of those.  They were very patient and kind.  We will definitely go again with them!!  Thank you so much Brandon and Kyle for a wonderful adventure!!!  We even got to meet Captain Eric, the owner!  Very nice guy!!

We had a great time today with Capt Brandon and his first mate Kyle. Both were fantastic at their jobs and I rate them a A+++. Unfortunately as it happened in fishing Mother Nature chose to make off shore confitions too rough to enjoy our trip so plan B went into action.  We fished insufe of 3 miles and wreck fished for 1/2 a day and caught enough fish for a fish fry tonight for dinner. Overall great crew and boat plus equipment.  You can’t go wrong by choosing Lobo charters.

These guys are the real deal! We had a group out for a half day, starting in the morning, and we had a specific goal of catching our dinner. We achieved that goal about 15 minutes after we first got our lines in the water. We probably caught 100 snapper between the five of us and we kept enough to feed 12 people back home. After we caught our fill of snapper to eat, we changed location to target Goliath Grouper, which was unbelievable. We each caught a massive grouper and it was a trip to remember. We’ll definitely be coming back in the future!
