E Erik's Dad | Fun DayThanks for the great trip for Erik and myself. He had a great time and it was an awesome father/son day for us. Thanks for making it happen. We will be back. |
E Eric Oswald | 8 Big RedsI just wanted to thank you for a great day of fishing. I have fished the Bay Pines / Johns Pass area for five years in my own boat and thought I knew the area well but no one knows it better than you! The new techniques that you showed me were highly effective in catching fish. Eight big Reds in the first hour and a half was amazing! To say that you are a ” good ” fishing guide would be an understatement. I look forward to fishing with you again. |
D Dad | Hard workerWhat an awesome time Capt. Ted put us on fish right away. Have been on many charters in southeast and this is the best bar none. Worked hard the whole time. We liked it so much we booked him for 2 additional days. Great job Captain Ted. We will definitely see you soon. Again great job and Thank you for 3 great days with my son and family. |
R Ross B | Wonderful WednesdayThanks again for a great day on the water last Wednesday. You really showed us a good time – not only with plenty of fish but also some sight seeing, dolphins, the Babe’s house etc. We really enjoyed the day, and ended it perfectly with a delicious trout feast at the Friendly Fisherman. |
S Shirly S. | Amazing DayAmazing day of fishing! Captain Ted was funny, down to earth and great with the kid! We caught 5 different species of huge fish. We also saw dolphins, manatee, and birds of all kinds! Great great day of fishing |
