I requested to target Dolphin, even though it is low season.  Capt. Rick put us on a weed line that was unusual for this time of year, and we put 3 keeper Dolphin and 5 tuna in the box.  Let several other Dolphin go to grow bigger for next time.  Had a wonderful time with the Capt. and he was wonderful with my kids.  Spent a little time at the end chasing barracuda (landed a big one!) to excite the kids.  Can’t wait til next time.

My daughter’s first offshore fishing trip and we were looking for her first mahi-mahi——and then her second through twentieth.  Although we didn’t have a weed line to work, Capt. Rick got us blind trolling and within about 5-minutes she had her first bull in the cooler.  Unfortunately it was the only one we had hit, so we ended up going inshore and he put us on a bunch of bonito and got our rods bending.  My daughter had a shark chasing one as she was bringing it into the boat and she reeled like a maniac to land it in one piece———and I had a porpoise chase and grab one of mine and take off running.  Wasn’t hooked but he just refused to let go, so I fought him for about 20-minutes and then was able to basically rip the head-half of my bonito out of its grasp; I considered that a draw.

Capt. Rick knows the water and how to find the fish, and his outgoing personality and humor made our 9-hours on the water that much more enjoyable.  And like every fisherman, although we would have liked to end up with a cooler so full of fish we couldn’t close it, we had a great trip with Capt. Rick and will definitely return and re-book with him.

I needed some blue water therapy before the holiday season and made a quick one day trip to Florida to fish with Capt. Rick. The weather didn’t cooperate and a front kept us from going offshore because the seas were 7-9. Rick kept us inshore and we fished all day around the inlet, landing a few barracudas and lost a few fish too. The boat (Contender) was clean and a nice set up to fight fish. The gear was in great shape and Rick clearly takes care of it. I can’t wait to get back down to south Florida to fish with Rick again in February!

Captain Christian and Jared gave us an amazing day of fishing! We started with a Sailfish and ended at the sunken wreck with a couple of King fish in between. Conversation was great and very knowledgeable.  Will recommend to our friends and look forward to seeing you again next year. Thank you for making my husbands birthday one we will remember always!

Rick was awesome! Super knowledgeable and friendly! Put us on a nice Mahi school and we caught about 15 in our 4 hour trip with him! Definitely recommend if you’re looking to book!
