I am from Michigan so I have never salt water fished, and he was extremely helpful. We were told what kind of hooks were best, the type of bait, and how much of everything would be best. For 3 dozen shrimp. For four weighted circle hooks, and 3 dozen shrimp, $26 is not bad at all and a very reasonable price.

Friendly and helpful. I stopped in to check this place out and they were very friendly and helpful.read more

Can't wait to see everyone and how things have changed. Again, great job! Barracuda Bob's Captain Joe.

While we were bending our rods and pulling fish out left and right, we did see other charter boats around, but it seemed like we were the only one catching anything. When we were all fished out, he got us back to the dock, and cleaned our fish for us. I know the next time we make it to Tampa, we will be booking with him again!

This review is to respond to "Bonnie S"…read more Your response to my previous review is completely inaccurate and inappropriate. I had explained to your "range officer" that I was a new shooter. All I did was ask to be moved to a different part of the range so I was not directly next to someone else. A perfectly reasonable request from a new female shooter. He became angry at my request and told me to leave. I was in absolute disbelief! Your point about me not understanding him is a blatant lie trying to undermine my experience and opinion. Even if that were the case, why not take the time to make sure someone new does understand the rules instead of being obnoxious about it? Also, considering multiple people on Yelp have said the same thing as I do, that your business tolerates staff being rude to customers, maybe you should look at your staff instead of blaming new customers. Most ranges I've been to go out of their way to make new female shooters feel welcomed. Sadly, not so of your range. Your range and "range officers" were hostile and i can only attribute that to misogynist views. His hostile behavior and reaction towards a new female shooter were completely inexcusable. I don't experience that anywhere else. And I will also point out that here on Yelp there are far more honest reviews about the attitude of your range officers and staff. The ratings on Yelp are more accurate and reflect the poor experience dealing with rude people at your business that I also had there. Ratings on other platforms are "cooked" and not reflective of people's poor experience there. Try to do better and you won't have poor reviews like mine and others
