Cpt Terry knew where the fish were. We had fish on the hook within a minute of dropping bait. Cpt Terry will bait your hook, take the fish off it, and even filet them up for you. Very knowledgeable and has great fish stories. Very nice guy as well. Highly recommend.

Captain Terry knew exactly where to go—we had bites almost immediately after dropping our lines! He handled everything from baiting the hooks to cleaning and filleting our catch. Super knowledgeable, full of great stories, and an all-around great guy. Highly recommended!

Terry and his son Dustin were fantastic—got us right on the fish! This was our second trip with Gritwater, and we’ll definitely be back for more!

As a longtime Florida resident who's fished the Gulf more times than I can count, I can honestly say no trip compares to the one we had with Captain Terry. We couldn't have planned a better day ourselves! He had us on the fish almost instantly, and the bites didn’t let up—we were reeling them in nonstop. By the end of the day, our arms were worn out from all the action. Between the five of us (four visiting from the Canadian prairies), we must’ve caught 70 to 80 fish—everything from small sea bass to solid grouper. We even hooked a big ol’ shark, and a hammerhead paid us a visit! It was an absolutely incredible day on the water, and we have Captain Terry to thank for it. If you're looking for the best guide in Carrabelle, he's your guy. Highly recommended!
