Furthermore his extensive knowledge gained from from years on and in the water, his expertise, teaching approach and laid back..patient, delightful yet professional demeanor prove Captain Robert of Mermaid Tales to be a tremendous asset to the Cystal River waters and beyond and to his clients, local and visiting from afar. Learning from and fishing with Captain Robert continues to spark interest and enrich the life of this young future female angler and certainly countless other individuals of all ages and experience levels who have had the opportunity to experience some "reel" action on a charter with Mermaid Tales.
