Excellent guide! We had a wonderful day with Bobby. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip wasting no time to change spots when the bite stopped. There were 4 of us and we had plenty space on his boat. We landed many snooks, mangrove snappers, trout, and more. We highly recommend Bobby and look forward to fishing with him in the future!

Reinaldo, was very communitive, checked with us three times to ensure we we would have best fishing experience possible. He was very forthcoming with his fishing techniques and knowledge of the river. The one thing both of us were pleasantly surprised about was that he not only provided an excellent guide service he fished with us, which allowed us an opportunity to watch his fishing tactics. He shared his knowledge which is greatly appreciated.
