Captain Terry was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and able to answer all of our questions. The boat was well equipped with everything we needed and more including drinks and snacks. We caught a variety of species and were able to keep 30 of the 75 fish we caught. At the end of the trip he cleaned and bagged all of our fish for us. If you’re looking for a guide in the Port Charlotte area I would highly recommend booking with Captain Terry!

Captain Terry was marvelous.  He clearly knows his business and the spots to find fish.  We went to multiple near-shore spots and the fish were biting everywhere as soon as we got our lines down.  We caught 15, yes 15, different species of fish.  Caught 3 almost-legal Gag Grouper (which, of course, were released) and they were a hoot to catch.  Captain Terry spent all his time helping us and making sure that we had a line in the water with bait on it.  Kept about 19 fish (he knows what to keep for good eating too) and threw about 50 back!

If you’re doing near shore, plan on spending the bulk of the day as it takes some time to get out on the water and then to the fishing spots.  Well worth the time.  I’d definitely recommend this experience.

A great day fishing!  Captain Terry was terrific!  He took us several places, tried several approaches and was always working to make certain that we had a fun and productive time.  Kept us out of the wind, used alternative baits and showed us how to improve our casting.  Caught a 30 lb jack, sheepshead and almost landed a big snook.  We look forward to more fishing with Captain Terry.

Captain Terry really did more than what a normal fishing guide does, he showed us a slice what Florida really has to offer! If you want to go fishing with someone who is experienced, fun, and a honestly great fisherman you better sign up right here! We had way more than a “great time”. My husband and I fished with Captain Terry only a few miles out but the action was good and almost everything we caught was a keeper. Even the wildlife that we were not after in the Gulf was absolutely amazing! Thank you Captain Terry! Fish On!

We had beautiful weather with very calm water in Charlotte Harbor.  Captain Terry took us to many of his prime fishing spots.  Over the course of the morning and early afternoon, we landed several different species including lady fish, catfish, sail cat, red snapper, trout, and gag grouper.  The only disappointing part was that most were too small to keep.  The current “red tide” issue in the Gulf, including Charlotte Harbor is likely to blame.  Captain Terry worked hard for us, was very attentive, and shared a lot of helpful anglers tips throughout the trip.  I would recommend a charter with him and would book with him again.
