Cpt Frank & mate put us on fish right away and the action was nonstop! Several times we had two fish on and we were scurrying to bring in the fish.
We were catching fish all day and they cleaned & filleted our catch. To catch fish choose "Off the Grid"!
Had a great time with Captain Carl! What a terrific gent. He put us on the fish — a lot of them! I think 28 altogether. Highly recommended!
Craig, thanks for the great review! I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip with Captain Carl and hope we can help you find many more trips in the future! Tight lines.
This website, FishingBooker, was simple to use. It was easy to find what I was looking for, where I was looking for it and how much I was willing to spend. The charter I find is what I wanted.
Hi Mary,

We had a great guide. Captain Kaleb was very knowledgeable. The directions to the location could have been clearer.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the great review, I'm glad you had a good experience with Captain Kaleb! That's great feedback about the directions to the dock – we'll see what we can do to make it easier for people to find him in the future. Thank you!

We had a great day fishing. We were catching fish with in minutes of of dropping anchor and continued to catch the entire trip. The big cats were mostly 8 - 12 pounds. I caught 2 at 13.75# and Kellye got 2 at 12.75#. We caught at least 400# of fish that day. Capt. Scott was a great guide, he knows his stuff and was a pleasure to be with. I definitely recommend this charter, you won't be disappointed.
Hi Jeff,
Thanks for your amazing review and congrats on the catch! Sounds like an unforgettable day. Hope we can help you repeat it again in the future!

Fishingbooker is to controlling and Dishonest about their policys and MAIN FOCUS IS $$$%%%! They tried to actually control the way I operate my business, in my opinion they are a BUNCH OF CROOKS... I'll Book my own trips From now on and COLLECT ALL OF MY MONEY!
Hi Captain Bobby,
I'm sorry you feel this way.
FishingBooker's mission is to help people find and book fishing charters quickly and easily. In order for this to work, our system is set up to make sure we're promoting captains with a record of providing a great experience, all the way from booking to fishing.
Your listing was temporarily paused because our system noticed that an unusually high number of your trips didn't go through. This meant that our mutual customers had a bad experience using our service.
We understand that fishing is unpredictable and you should never take a trip if it's unsafe to do so. However, fewer than 20% of your FishingBooker customers got to go fishing over the last year. This is much lower than average. Unfortunately, we can't keep sending customers to your listing in good conscience when we're aware that there's a very low chance that the trip they booked will go ahead.
If you decide to reinstate your listing, please get in touch. We'd be very happy to provide any resources you might need to increase your listing's reliability score and realization rate and hope we'd be able to work together more successfully in the future!

Captain Stanley Bryant helped make our Father Son fishing charter a great time and most certainly an incredible memory
Hi Richard,

I have had my business through this site for many years. This last year with COVID playing a big issue with small business like mine. This year I had contracted COVID and a month after I had a heart attack. I needed to cancel a few trips to my strength back. Now up and running again they cancelled me due to canceling a few trips due to my past health issue. With everything going on in the world and business like mine trying to come back from a year of COVID, Fish Booker "who is ran from INDIA" will never see my business again and I will never support them in any way. Please find a site that has a businesses back not just for the good of their own. Very disappointed with Fish Booker and will never suggest using their site.
Hi Captain Neil,
I'm really sorry to hear about your health problems over the last year. I hope you're on your way to recovery!
Unfortunately, our system noticed that an unusually high number of your trips haven't been going through over the last several months. It was clear that something wasn't right. Even though your availability was open, the majority of customers who booked with you weren't able to go fishing.
This is why your listing was temporarily paused until things could get back to normal again.
We try to do right by captains and customers, and understand how frustrating it is for customers to book a trip for what looks like an available date, only to hear that it won't happen when it's too late to book an alternative. This is why our system can pause listings for new bookings when it notices a seriously low number of trips are going through. This way, captains can take time to get back on track with their availability settings, and customers can be confident that their trips will go ahead.
We really value the partnership we've had over the years and I'm sorry to hear how tough things have been lately. If you ever change your mind and decide to relist, we'd be very happy to talk through how we can make things work in the future.
Tight lines and sincere wishes for a speedy recovery, Cat
Fishing was a little slow but we caught a couple of big Jack Crevalle and some small Bonita. OK boat, good Captain and deck hands.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for your great review. Congrats on the catch and I hope more fish are biting next time!

Stayed in good communication. Willing to go to go when the weather wasn't favorable. Shared his knowledge willingly. Had a great day of fishing.
Hi Mark,
Thanks very much for the review. I'm glad you enjoyed your trip with Hector and hope we can help you go fishing again soon!

Crew was awesome... the fish weren't biting as much as we would like... great time altogether...
Hi Terry,
Thanks very much for your review! I'm so happy you had a good experience with the crew, but sorry to hear that the fishing action wasn't the best. I guess that's why it's called fishing, not catching!
I hope the fish are more cooperative next time!:)
Tight lines,
Cat
Had a great time. The captain and crew of max drag were great. Can't wait for my next trip with the family booked for next month.
Hi Robert,
Thanks very much for taking the time to leave a review. I hope your next trip is amazing, too!
