From his first contact with me, Captain Fernando was friendly, helpful and professional. A day with him on the water is a day well spent. I had booked for an inshore trip, but the Cobia were biting, so he wanted to check with me to see if I wanted to go offshore to fish for them.  I appreciate his consideration, and I caught my first cobia and jack crevalle.  Inshore, we had a great time fishing for and catching snook. Capt. Fernando knows where the fish are and how to catch them—I can’t wait to fish with him again the next time I am in the area.

My 14-year-old son and I had a wonderful day of inshore fishing with Capt. Fernando.  The two of us caught about 40 fish on three poles, mostly snook, all catch-and-release.  I won’t mention what my share of the catch was as it’s too embarrassing!  The Captain is knowledgeable, personable, and very helpful including taking photos better than the ones I took and sending them to us afterward.  I landed a 24.5” fat snook which is pretty decent.  I would recommend booking directly with Captain Fernando Stalker as there were problems with the other two bookings I made using fishing booker.

My boyfriend and I took a Father’s Day weekend charter with Sea Stalker.  From the moment I booked the charter, Capt. Fernando was fantastic.  Maintained contact with me regarding weather and charter and planning our day. 

Both Capt Fernando and Capt Scott were on our charter and they went out of their way to make sure we had a great day, especially my boyfriend as this was his dad’s day gift.  If the bite wasn’t the greatest at one spot, then on to the next until we were catching fish.  Caught lots of snook and jacks and then I caught a juvenile Goliath Grouper.  Made BF a little jealous so Capt. Fernando said you want to catch a big one?  And we were off….Got him hooked up on a monster 250lb one.  Highlight of the day.  Tried for some tarpon late in the day and got a 6ft 150lb bull shark instead which put up a fight!  Was really great because it gave us an opportunity to catch things we normally wouldn’t (like the huge grouper and shark).

Throughout the day Capt. Fernando and Capt. Scott worked with us (well mainly me) on casting technique and showing us what to look for on the water for tell tale signs of fish.  They are great Captains for experienced fishermen/women or novices. 

Afterwards they sent us lots of photos of the day as well as an edited video of some of our biggest catches.  If in the Stuart area, I highly recommend this charter.  Their prices was extremely reasonable and you WILL fish the entire time!  Plus, you really couldn’t fish with a nicer couple of guys.  We own a boat and would have them aboard ours anytime they are over in the Tampa area in a heartbeat.

Absolutely outstanding day! Captain Fernando is not only a true professional, but also just a great guy you would want to go have a beer with. He was extremely patient with 2 pretty inexperienced anglers, but was also equally excited when we missed and caught fish - he is a captain that really cares about your experience. I took a close friend who hadn’t fished in 20 years and we would have had fun if we caught nothing - but Captain Fernando was not going to let that happened, see pics! I am a part-time FL resident and I will be going again. Would highly recommend the experience.
