Really fun trip with Capt Eric

Half Day Trip (AM)

Fishing with Capt Eric during Spring Break 2023 was a blast for the whole family, including the teenage kids! We met Capt Eric at the boat ramp and we were fishing for Speckled Seatrout in Tampa bay after a quick ride of 20 minutes or so. The whole family caught fish and we had a delicious fish fry for dinner! One exciting thing that happened was catching a Cormorant by accident. Capt Eric helped us gently release it unharmed, and the kids enjoyed getting a personal visit with the beautiful bird.

    Lucky to Spend the Day with Captain Eric, What an Amazing Trip

    Full Day Trip5 adults1 child

    Captain Eric was perfect in every way..... We booked our trip through the website and Captain Eric was immediately responsive. We discussed the trip and made sure we were completely aligned guaranteeing the best day possible. His boat was amazing (wow). He had all of the gear and bait ready to go. He took us to several hot spots and we hit right away. Over the entire day we caught several species. Not only did he have knowledge of the fish, but he also gave us background on the area and special historical facts that were very interesting. We could not have asked for a better Captain, guide and now friend. We cannot leave a review without additional thanks to his First Mate Jake. We really appreciate him too and wish him the best of luck as he finishes high school and focuses on the next chapter of his life. Take care young man. Thank you for an amazing day, we cannot wait until our next trip. The Stillman Family

    Fishing with Eric

    Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    We went out with captain Eric(2 adults, 2 kids, 3 generations) just looking to put some fish in the livewell. We did just that. It didn't start out hot by any means, but Eric kept us grinding til it paid off. Eric was more than accommodating to our 11 and 4 year old. Wouldn't hesitate to go out with him again if we find ourselves down that way again!

    Beautiful fishing experience

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults

    Captain Erick took us fishing on his beautiful boat. We had an amazing time and will love to do it again. He clean all the fish afterwards and catered to us during the trip with things like allowed us to control the music preference from our own device via Bluetooth and took pictures of us and the fish we caught throughout the trip to make sure that we captured memories for the future. Keep up the awesome work captain Erick. and may God continue to watch over you and bless you. 🤙🎣
