Had a great day fishing with Capt. Eric on a difficult conditions day. Weather was clear but very windy. He went out of his way to make the ride to our fishing spot as comfortable as possible and found a spot that was very productive as well as protected from the wind. We went from a day that I thought might get canceled to catching over 40 fish of 5 different species. Also… did I mention it was 2 experienced husband anglers with our “newbie” wives on the charter. He was amazing with his instruction and patience with the girls. Full disclosure… the girls caught more fish than we did. Will definitely fish with Capt. Eric again next time we are in town.

My fiancé and 15 year old fishing-obsessed stepson enjoyed a 6 hr day with Capt Eric exploring and fishing in the Everglades. We had a beautiful weather day and caught some beautiful spotted seatrout and then explored some other areas. We had lots of bites and some incredible views and stories (sharks kept eating our catches in one spot so we had to move haha). A great day with Capt Eric and it was great getting to know more about his time and family in the Keys and his fishing stories. Thank you, Capt Eric! We will be back for a real shark trip sometime! Haha

Extremely knowledgeable with a focus on having a good time.  We fished in many different areas and caught several different species.  It was a great day and I would recommend BLACKWATER charters for all types of fishing in Islamorada.
