Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 26, 2024
My son, nephew, and I had an excellent time on Captain Ted’s charter. He knows his way around the area waterways. Our day was in the midst of a heat wave with no rain - water temps were touching 90 degrees. Captain Ted still put us on fish in every location we stopped. We caught snapper, snook, red, jack, trout, and flounder on our trip - many keepers as well. We learned a lot about the fishing structure and proper presentation from Captain Ted. Captain Ted made sure our hooks always had live bait. It was a great experience. The tougher conditions highlighted Captain Ted’s skills even more. Highly recommend his charter.

We had a fun time fishing with Captain Ted. Fish were a little elusive but we managed to take home a few, despite the super hot temps. My 9 year old had a great time and even got to watch and learn how to clean fish. Thanks Captain Ted!

My son and I had a blast with Captain Ted! It was hot and the water was hot and made for a tough day of fishing, but Captain Ted did everything to make sure we caught fish and have a good time.
