Here's the report (please make it my caption): 🎣 The fishing has been excellent for the last month on the Indian and Banana River Lagoons near Melbourne, FL. We had awesome fishing Redfish, Black Drum, Seatrout, and Mangrove Snappers. We still had a decent sheepshead bite as well.

🧊 The return of colder weather is forecast for the foreseeable future. The cold weather will kick the Redfish and Sheepshead fishing back into high gear. Black Drum and Seatrout will be consistently good as well.

Rick was amazing, was extremely punctual and had everything we needed for a great trip. Even though the weather was not great he still knew where to put us on fish and have a great experience. He was kind and all over what we needed. An amazing captain that I highly recommend to anyone!

Capt Rick was great! Everyone had a good time and caught plenty of fish. He did a great job helping our 8 yo jr. fisherman have a blast. I would highly recommend for anyone.

Overall the trip with Richard was excellent. My party arrived at the prescribed time and Richard already had the boat off the ramp and in the water. We loaded out stuff and off we went. The trip to the spot he selected took about an hour to arrive. He kept the hooks baited and provided suggestions and helped our youngest (11 yo) to hook fish and bring them it. Richard had a great selection of live and frozen bait that worked very well. Of the four of us each pulled in at least two fish with some getting more. Good selection pulled in with at least 4 different breeds of fish being kept which Richard prepared for us after we arrived. Well worth the money spent. The captain became a friend.

We had a blast on Captain Rick's boat. He took us straight out to a reef on top of wide open Mahi, sight fishing. Hes friendly, understanding, super knowledgeable, helpful and all around does it to make sure all types of anglers get an awesome chart with some big trophy catches. I would highly recommend getting on Captain Rick's boat for a fun day of big game fishing. Offers drinks om the boat. Filet, clean, and bag our catch. Next time we get back to the area, he will be our first choice for our next charter. Thank you, Captain Rick. Till next time!

Captain Neal was an excellent guide and fisherman. We were on fish in the first thirty minutes and caught over 2 dozen fish. We absolutely recommend using his service and can’t wait to go back out with him again!
