Eric isn’t called the fishin magician for nothing! Eric did a great job and put us on the fish every spot we went to. If you are wanting to go out and have a great time and catch fish then Captain Eric is your man. Highly recommend and will definitely be back on the water very soon with the best captain in the Bay Area.

Eric was extremely accommodating! He came to our house in Anna Maria Island to pick us up from our little dock on the canal! He took us straight to the fish and kept us on the fish all day long. He cleaned our fish and gave us tips and advice on how to keep it fresh and tasty. He truly is a guide I would like to see again. Can't say that about most guys. Huge thank you. See ya in a few months.

Captain Eric was fantastic. Listened to how I wanted to spend the day and what I wanted to target and he put us on them. Started the day catching a couple of redfish for the chest and then headed out to the grouper spots. We managed to get a few undersized in the boat but we did hook into a few giants but they got us in the rocks before we could pull them free. Was an awesome day and will be booking again.

Cap Eric is a top notch guide and fisherman. He not only is friendly and courteous but really knows his fish. Everything from bait fish to flounder to red fish to grouper and dolphin watching Eric knows it all. Been out twice summer and winter and my hubby and I would rather fish with Eric than go to Disney any day. I cannot say enough good things about our incredible times. It’s pure magic any time of year with Cap. Eric!!!
