We had an excellent fishing trip and couldnโt have asked for a better captain! He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. He knew exactly where to go to find fish and was always willing to help with baiting hooks, untangling lines, and sharing tips. His friendly attitude and patience made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he truly loves what he does and wants his guests to have a successful day on the water. We caught plenty of fish, made great memories, and would definitely book another trip with him. Highly recommend!

Our family spent the morning fishing with Captian Merrick, he was the perfect choice for us! He is very patient and fun with kids but also good at giving proper guidance. We had an exciting time seeing all the varities of fish we were able to catch! He understood different areas of the ocean, and knew every fish we caught. We had such a great time fishing with Captian Merrick and would definitely use him again next time we are in the Tampa area.
Last second decision to book on a holiday weekend and Merrick came through for the win. -Introduction to boat 10/10 -On time to dock (actually early!) 10/10 -Great, clean,well maintaned boat 10/10 -well thought of plan fo half day 10/10 -clean equipment and well stocked 10/10 -knowledge of marine life is huge! 10/10 -knows the waters and spots 10/10 -music play list 10/10. Chill -Time well planned 10/10 to allow for as many opportunities to catch as allowable and possible. -Everyone caught fish. 10/10. although bot guaranteed of course we ended up with a phenominal day and have zero regrets other than not booking both day parts. Add all up above and you got a 100 as far as my rating. My young guys still talking about the trip days later. First time meeting Merrick and wont be my last outing. Thanks Broโ๏ธ

Captain Merrick is a great guide. This was my families first time fishing in Clearwater and the experience was amazing. We caught multiple species to include Trout, Lady Fish, Flounder, Spot, Grunt, and Cobia. We were fortunate to hookup on two massive Cobia. Overall, I highly recommend booking a trip with Merrick. You will not be disappointed!
Had an amazing time out in Clearwater! Captain Merrick picked us up right from our backyard dock, which made the whole experience feel super easy and personalized. We ended up catching three different kinds of fish and even landed 5 sharks โ definitely a trip to remember.
Everything was smooth, fun, and well-organized, and you can tell he really knows what heโs doing. If youโre looking for a great day on the water, I highly recommend booking with Captain Merrick. Would absolutely do it again!
