Rick put me on a few good size snook in a very short amount of time. My biggest was 3ft and it fought like hell! Had a great time. Rick was very knowledgeable and knew the water very well. Will definitely go back again!

Embarked on a fishing excursion on March 16, 2023. For an outstanding day on the water, consider booking a trip with Rick! His expertise in the area is evident, and he consistently strives to ensure a successful fishing experience. I encountered a challenging situation when a fish swam through a fallen tree, resulting in a tangled line. Without hesitation, Rick jumped into the water to salvage the catch! It was an immensely enjoyable experience, and I would unquestionably choose to fish with him again.
