Plenty of fish!

Half Day Adventure A.M3 adults

Even though it was windy and a little chilly, we had a great trip! Plenty of fish. Austin was a great captain, helpful and patient, mad sure we learned about the St. Johns River!

Stacey, thank you so much for the awesome review! We definitely had to work with a little wind and that spring chill, but you all made it a great trip—and the fish showed up to cooperate! I’m really glad you enjoyed the experience and getting to learn a bit about the St. Johns River along the way. That’s one of my favorite parts of what I do—helping folks not just catch fish, but understand the fishery too. Y’all did a great job out there and put in the work, and it paid off! Hope to have you back onboard soon when the weather lays down and we can really show you what this place is capable of. – Captain Austin 🎣

    Amazing experience with captain Austin

    3/4 Day Adventure A.M2 adults

    Our experience with captain Austin at tannic water adventures was an absolute 10/10! Everything about our trip was perfect captain Austin was incredibly patient and extremely knowledgeable about all of the species we caught and the water way we fished as a whole. Within the first 10 minutes of fishing we had 3 fish in the boat and it didn’t stop there as we caught over 20 plus fish through the corse of the day. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Tannic water adventures for absolutely anyone wanting a peaceful trip full of fish from anyone if you’ve been fishing your whole life or never touched a rod before we will definitely be booking with him again in the future !

    Thank you so much, Chase! I really appreciate you taking the time to leave such an awesome review. It was a blast having you guys on the water, and I’m glad the fish were fired up from the start! You both did a great job out there, and I’m looking forward to another round next time you’re back out — we’ll see if we can beat that 20+ fish day! 🎣 - Captain Austin

    Austin delivers again :)

    Half Day Adventure A.M2 adults

    My son Brandon with Down syndrome and I have fished with Austin a handful of times and we have enjoyed our trip each time. He is very helpful and Brandon thinks he is cool. We will fish with Austin whenever he is available, and we are in town from California. I recommend Austin without reservation. Can't wait to fish with him again. PS: Brandon caught the biggest fish of his life on our recent trip. A very nice Redfish. Tim

    Response from Captain

    Tim, this truly means more than you know—thank you for such a kind and thoughtful review. Getting to spend time on the water with you and Brandon has been an absolute privilege. Brandon is an awesome young man, and seeing his excitement and confidence grow each trip is exactly why I love what I do. That big redfish he landed is something I won’t forget anytime soon—what a moment. I’m really grateful you continue to choose to fish with me, especially coming all the way from California. It says a lot, and I don’t take that lightly. My goal is always to make sure you both feel comfortable, have fun, and create memories that stick long after the trip is over. Looking forward to the next adventure with you guys already. Tell Brandon I said he set the bar pretty high with that last catch! 🎣 - Captain Austin

    Red Friday Beat Black Friday with Reel Deal

    Half Day Adventure A.M2 adults

    Coldest day since last Winter, turned hot with catches. This charter is definitely the “reel” deal. Captain Austin puts you on them. He is raw and knowledgeable. Listen to his instructions and you will catch fish. This was our 5th charter this year, and the best by far. Love the marina location, Captain Austin knows the holes, has great equipment and damn good at telling you how to get them in the boat. Planning another trip with Tannic and is now my go-to for inshore fishing. Thanks so much Captain Austin for making a cold day a hot ending!

    Great day of fishing

    Half Day Adventure A.M2 adults1 child

    My kids thoroughly enjoy fishing with capt. Austin. We caught quite a bit of rainbow trout and drum and came home and had dinner. Austin is top notch. Scheduled for Thursday but high winds were in the area and he conveniently adjusted his schedule to take us out on a warm calm day on the river. We highly recommend Austin and Tannic Water Adv.

    Thank you so much, Bachir! That means a lot to me. I’m really glad we were able to make the adjustment with the weather and get you and the kids out on a nice calm day—that’s what it’s all about. Sounds like y’all put together a pretty solid dinner plan too with those trout and drum! It was a pleasure having your family onboard. Watching kids enjoy the experience and get excited about fishing never gets old for me. Y’all were awesome to fish with. Looking forward to having you back out there again soon! 🎣 - Captain Austin

    Best I've ever done with a guide

    Half Day Adventure A.M2 adults

    Went out a bit early since we got there early and stayed a little later than required since we were catching. Caught a bunch in my book and cleaned them for no extra charge.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Mitchell! We really appreciate the awesome review. When the fish are biting, it’s hard to head back to the dock! 🎣 I’m glad we could get you out a little early, keep the action going, and send you home with plenty of cleaned fish. Thanks for choosing Tannic Water Adventures—hope to have you back aboard again soon! 🙌🐟
