My goal was to set out to catch Tarpon for my very first time, and that we did! Captain Fernando surpassed my expectations! The 6 hour trip we did was perfect because it allowed us to really home in and find great spots. Throughout the trip, the Tarpon we were catching just kept getting larger as the day progressed. Captain Fernando was kind enough to let me keep the Hook in which we caught the largest one of the day. Talk about a memory!! Overall, I way very pleasantly surprised and I will be coming back on my next trip! If you want an energetic Captain with great knowledge and great tips, I most definitely recommend Captain Gernando!

Thank you Fernando and team! My son and I had an absolute amazing experience learning about Tarpon fishing and reeling in a 50 pounder. Our hearts were pounding. We had a few others on the line and watched them defy gravity as the launched out of the water. Fernando was the best. Very knowledgeable and passionate about his work.  He taught us so much about Tarpon and how to respect their well being.

Capt. Cody was the man! He put us on the fish early and then explored a few different spots. He gave us a nice sampling of the area and on top of being extremely knowable, was also an awesome dude to hang with! I will for sure be recommending Backwater to friends and fam as well as coming back here the next time we are in town. All in all an awesome experience!

Captain Fernando was absolutely brilliant.  Had us in fish the entire trip.  We had a family of 5 and we cycled through each one of us fighting/catching fish.  We had a wonderful Time and he was great with teaching.  We will follow him anywhere when it involves fishing. 

Cannot say enough good things about him.  Fantastic work
