Awesome adventure!…read more Eric is the fishing guide you will go out with. Eric is a professional kayaking fisherman and his experience shows. He truly is knowledgeable about fishing and where the fish are. He got us on the fish, even when the weather was not providing us the best fishing. My buddy and I had a blast and were were surprised how Eric was able to teach us how to fish effectively, since we had not been fishing in about 10 years. He would give tips on where to anchor your kayak, where to cast the line out to, how to use the bait properly so you get tons of hits, and how to avoid the fish "falling" of the hook. We caught several trout and one flounder. Again the weather was not ideal for a world record day but the 4 hours flew by because we were catching stuff. Since my buddy was in town only for a few days we wanted to go one way or another and knew the weather was less than ideal. He is a very personable individual and was engaging in conversation. For the people who might not want to touch the fish, this is the guide you want. He was more than happy to come over and get the fish off the hook for you, if you wanted. He also would rebait the hook and make sure your back fishing fast. Kayak fishing with Eric was super easy, fun, and clean fishing!!!! The kayaks and fishing gear he uses are top notch! This made fishing very easy and fun. Definitely plan on going on another outing because it was so much fricken fun. This time bringing the fiancé because she won't have to touch the fish. Eric also helped me figure out how we should cook our fish. I was born and raised in Florida and do not like fish. So I cooked it up the way he told me, PERFECTION!!!!

My husband went 3yrs ago on another charter when we were visiting Anna Maria. Capt. Kyle is a 4th generation charter captain. His charter is super nice and clean. He has a live well for bait and knows where to take you to get all the fish you can possible catch. Check out his website - lots of pics. Capt. Kyle is professional, knowledgable and friendly. He's got two big yeti coolers on board for your drinks and food. You are guaranteed a good time. As soon as a reeled in my line, he had another one baited for me and my husband. It's was non stop action! I couldn't believe how many fish I was bringing in. We tossed the small ones back, but they were even fun to catch. We ended up with red fish, trout, snapper and mackerel. Had a great time and now it's time to have The Sandbar Restaurant cook them up for us. Kyle filleted the fish for us right after we were done. Call him, you'll have a blast !
