Captain Eric was awesome. Had a wealth of knowledge of the area. Got us to a spot where we were able to catch some smaller species, and got us a shark as well. Great experience!

Five Stars!!!! We had a wonderful fishing experience. We fought one large, 100 pound Tarpon and caught and released one 80 pound Tarpon. What a great experience!! We also caught 3 Nurse Sharks. They were fun too!!
Thank you for a wonderful time!

Good effort in pleasing the client. Weak bait preparation. Had to return to the dock for bait.
Repeatedly removed the pole from experience fisherman's hands and cast the line. Short with instructions, long with distgust in not following instructions.
