A fantastic day out on the water. Chilly but comfortable. Captain Edwin is a real pro. We didn’t really catch much, but he went out of his way to try and find us some good spots. Very patient and very jovial captain

great conversations

Looking forward to having us guide us again in the near future

Captain Edwin is the best guide around! His boat is brand new, Triton, newer than the listing shows. He took us straight to the giant grouper, we had fish in the boat within minutes of setting the trolling motor on spot lock. After the grouper bite slowed down, we ran to the mangroves and sight fished snook. He definitely knows what he is doing and didn't act like a smart-ass all day like other guides...

Edwin was the man! I went on a trip with my friend and my father, and we had a great time. We all got on some great fights with Goliath grouper which we won’t forget any time soon. Edwin was extremely accommodating with our plans, as weather was a big concern. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and provided us with many different options to fish throughout the trip. The boat and gear is all top notch as well. I have had a handful of experiences with different captains, and Edwin is as good as they come! I would recommend to anyone looking to have a good time and catch some fish!
