Captain Dylan made our experience very enjoyable. We booked a 6 hour backcountry fishing experience. Captain Dylan was on time, prepared, and personable. He contacted us the day before our charter to inform of high winds and suggest moving our fishing trip a day later (according to when we were still going to be in the area) to have a more favorable experience.

Although we did not catch any “keepers”, we caught about a dozen and a half between the two of us over the 6 hours. There was plenty of action, especially considering the waters being churned up from wind the day before. Captain Dylan was very knowledgeable and attentive to re-baiting our hooks, helping to cast in tricky areas, and explaining the species of fish and wildlife in the area.

We would definitely recommend this charter to other individuals!

Spent the day with Eric on a back bay trip and could not have been more pleased with how we did. We did not catch any grouper /tarpon or Snook, but , caught tons of Lady fish, Weakfish and Jacks! Almost had a 5 foot blacktip shark swallow one of my weakfish on the retrieve! WAHOO! Eric was a fantastic guide and put me on the fish in several different areas while looking for others in several other spots. Great day, great weather and what a landscape. I’ll remember it forever!

I recently had knee surgery so I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to enjoy my annual fishing trip while visiting the Keys. Fortunately for me, I arranged my trip with Captain Eric Scoble, from Blackwater Charters and he not only put us on a lot of fish, but also took into consideration the situation with my knee, which made the trip possible and enjoyable. The weather was warm and breezy and our backwater fishing was busy as I spent most of my time reeling in sea trout, red fish and snook. When I wasn’t busy catching fish, I was taking in the sights inlcuding some up close encounters with manatees, dolphins, flamingos and even a bull shark that pilfered one of my large snooks. It was an overall great day of fishing and being out on the water. I’m already looking forward to retuning next time for another excursion with Captain Eric.

Went for Tarpon. Captain Dylan was excellent and worked hard to find Tarpon but weather was windy conditions. We had 2 hits and both large Tarpons jumped and spit out hook. That was exciting to witness big Tarpons jump. We moved closer to shore and caught about 5 sharks 4 foot in lengh. Then as the sun was setting we hooked a large Bull shark. It took about 25 minutes to fight and the captain moving the boat a long distance to officially land, Captain grabbed the leader to release,  a 7 foot plus approx. 200 lb. Bull shark. Unforgettable experience. Highly recommend.

What an incredible experience! We started by casting a huge net to catch live bait. Then, we headed to a spot near a bridge, and that’s when the real fun began! We caught over 50 fish, in 2.5 hours, across four species, including two massive groupers weighing more than 25 kilos each. An unforgettable day on the water!
