Fantastic Captain! Highly recommended!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)3 adults1 child

Capt Ellison was fantastic! We had booked a 4hr fishing trip during our stay in Bonita Spring. It was our son’s first time fishing and Capt Ellison was extremely patient and knowledgeable. Due to a thunderstorm, we had to change our charter to later in the day and Capt Ellison was highly communicative throughout. We will definitely charter with Capt Ellison again!

    Charter with Capt. Cribb

    3/4 Day Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults

    I booked a charter with Capt. Cribb on 7/7/25. My wife, father in law, and 16 year old son joined the trip. Capt. Cribb assisted my wife and son, who had somewhat limited fishing experience, with anything they needed. He was very engaged the whole trip and explained the what, why, and how of what species we were targeting. No question went unanswered and we felt at home on his boat. Boat was comfortable enough for four ppl to fish out of and is rigged nicely with gear and electronics. We caught several Mangrove Snapper and Trout. If you are ever in the Bonita Springs area, I highly suggest booking a charter with Capt. Cribb. You will not be disappointed!

    nice inshore fishing trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Had a great morning with Capt Ellison. Met the boat at the Lover's Key boat ramp, did inshore fishing in Estero Bay. Captain seemed knowledgeable about the bay and where to fish. Boat was fast and comfortable at least in flat bay waters. We caught trout, catfish, sheepshead, ladyfish, and a bonnethead shark, all pretty small except for the shark which was something of a load to bring to the boat. Would definitely go with this captain again.
