Our Captain was awesome. He kept us on the fish as we picked up and moved if the action slowed. We will book another trip!

Despite weather not being favorable & fish not biting, Dave made sure we enjoyed our trip. We all caught at least one trout. He was very patient with my 2 younger grandsons that got bored quickly. Would use Dave again. Easy to get fishing licenses at the marina.
Hi Cherri,
Thanks so much for your positive review. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed your trip with Dave and hope we can help you go fishing again soon!

My 95 year old father had a great day fishing on the charter. Captain Harrison was a great guide and made it easy for him to have a great experience.

Thought I had a five hour trip booked turned out it was only a four hour trip.
Feel maybe a discount when it's only one person.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and sorry to hear about the mixup with the trip length. Did this happen on your tarpon trip or the backwater trip? We'd like to make sure that everything's as clear as possible on the listing for future customers.
Feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] if you need any help or have any questions at all.

We had a great day fishing with Dave Bruchey! He knew the best spots and was very personable and fun. He provided amazing customer service both before and during the trip. We definitely would recommend using Dave as a guide!

Had a great trip! Captain Jason went over a d beyond to make it a great experience. My grandson is still talking about catching 21 fish. Captain Jason knows where to find the fish and was great with my 5 year old and 10 year old grandsons.

We went out on a windy day by my choice. The captain did a great job keeping us dry and stocked with bait. Saw a bunch of dolphins and caught a bunch of fish! Got the keepers fileted for a good eat another day!

Great captain and mate. We had a couple of kids who were very excited as it would be their first time fishing in the ocean. They both caught fish and are now "hooked" on ocean fishing. Highly recommended!
Hi Peter,
Thanks for your review. I'm so happy to hear that your family enjoyed their time on the water. I hope we can help you go ocean fishing again soon!

I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that we couldn't keep most of the fish we caught in Estero Bay. I think this must be clearly specified on your Website, and any customer MUST be made aware of it BEFORE booking a fishing trip.
Hi Michael,
Thanks very much for your feedback, this makes a lot of sense. I'll see what we can do to improve this in the future and make it more clear which fish can and can't be kept in the area.

My 10 year old loved it. The Captain was there about 10 minutes early and had us on fish in no time.
It was everything as advertised. Great experience!

We had a wonderful time and Captain Brian took very good care of all of us and made sure that each one had a very good experience fishing.
Brian was stung by a Catfish and he still made sure the fun we had continued although he was in pain. We caught a ton of Snook and some Red and the catch and release was fun much fun for all.
Hi Joseph,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm so happy to hear you had a good time with Captain Brian!

Answer: Scam. Fishingbooker is a rip off. Nothing but trouble. No customer service and they charge your credit card. Look out.
Answer: A: Hi Jamie, it really depends on the duration of your trip and the location you'd like to go fishing in. There are captains who offer departure times based on the cruise timetables and can get you back on time. I'd suggest you message the charters you'd like to go out with and inquire about this. I'm sure they will be able to assist you. Also, you can contact our customer service, and we'll gladly help you find something suitable. Many thanks, Maria
Answer: Hi Lawrence, we refunded your deposit after your trip in September was canceled. Please let us know if this is now resolved. Many thanks, Cat
