Captain Richie was great and very friendly. We only booked a 2-hour trip, so we didn’t end up catching anything (although we did get a few bites), but we saw a lot of tarpon. The captain answered every question we had and was very knowledgeable. Although the bite was a little slow during the short time we had, Captain Richie did a great job working with us, teaching us about the fish, and putting us in a great spot. We saw at least 100 tarpon surfacing throughout the trip. One thing we really appreciated was that the captains let us know well in advance
that the bite had been finicky in the area recently. They recommended booking a longer trip because it would allow more time to visit different spots and try different lures. Captain Richie was also happy to let us experiment with different lures and bait, which we appreciated. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would highly recommend it.
BTW- Captian Richie is extremely quick at taking apart wind knots, we were impressed.

We did the afternoon trip with Captain Ritchie and had an awesome time. We caught tarpon and dog snapper, and with five of us on the boat there was still plenty of room to fish comfortably. The weather was great, and Captain Ritchie worked hard the entire trip, moving locations and putting in real effort to find productive spots. He clearly knows the area extremely well.

He was also excellent at teaching us how and why we were catching fish, and how to do it well. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to learn and succeed, not just drop lines in the water.

He provided waters, a cooler with ice, and a dry place to store our items. The booking process was smooth, even with a few changes on our end. Captain Luis was excellent to work with and Ritchie was top notch. We would absolutely go again and highly recommend booking with them.

First, let me start by saying the Captain Cody was not only an amazing fishing captain, but also an incredible human being. His laid back personality and patient, yet direct, coaching style made my first tarpon fishing trip so enjoyable I had to book another trip with him 3 days later. Cody was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses as an angler and coach me in the ways of tarpon fishing.

On our first trip out, we literally saw 100s of tarpon, had four hits and got hooks into two of them. We battled the last fish for nearly 30 minutes before breaking off boat side. Cody figured this fish was in the 60-70 lb. class.

Day 2 began with a hit before sunrise. That was followed by 3-4 more hits throughout the morning. I got hooks into 2 of those, battling with one for several minutes before he threw my bait back at me.

Although I didn’t land any fish in the boat, I had an enjoyable time fishing. Captain Cody found the fish and tried a variety of tactics to get them to eat. It just wasn’t in the cards. I would recommend FishNSea Charters to anyone looking to have a great time on the water with an amazing captain.

nothing beats fishing with a great captain! everyone should alway understand you foshing not guaranteed catching.  our captain went way out of his way to make sure our trip would be everything you would want and he definitely did that!  I highly recommend booking with him!!  On a high note we landed a bunch of nice tarpon but would have still enjoyed the trip if we hadn’t. His experience on fishing and explaining his techniques and what to look for was both helpful and well worth knowing.  Even if you’re a first time fisher there is a great chance of landing a fish of a lifetime.  Again Thanks Captain for going way out of your way for us, i hope to be able to fish with you again!!
