Captain Eric is fantastic. He knows where and when to be to put you on fish. He does a great job of teaching what you need for the type of fishing you are doing. I have fished all my life but over the years life gets in the way and you don’t get to do it enough and your skills suffer and Eric is really good at recognizing your skill level and helping you be as successful as you can be with your skills. He put me on the fish and coached me through catching them. An absolutely great day with Eric.

Eric totally hooked us up with some Tarpon action - had a blast chasing those silver kings all day. Big shoutout to Eric for making it an awesome day out on the water. See you again next May!
May 14, 2025
Our 6-hour charter with Eric was solid. Our original captain bailed on us a week before we showed up, but luckily we connected with Eric. He was upfront about the fishing scene, what we could reel in, and he seriously knows his stuff about the area and fish habits. He's got a bunch of sweet spots to hit up and he's chill to chat with, always texting back fast even when he's out on the water.
May 14, 2025
Captain Eric made the backcountry fishing trip a total win. Laid-back vibes, loads of fish, and he really knows his way around those waters - definitely booking with him again!
