I’ve chartered several captains/boats, and this was among my FAV!

Eric and his first mate were wonderful. We had children with us and they really took the time to teach them and help them be involved. I told Eric I didn’t want to be coddled (he better let me bait my own hook!) and he delivered wonderfully. 😊 we came home with plenty of delicious catfish, some amazing coffee, and he loaded us up with some freebies too. It was a beautiful day on the Bay. His location/boat/dock are all very nice, high quality, well taken care of and maintained. If I ever come back to this area, I will jump at another chance to book with Eric. Thank you both! 🙏
