We had a great time with Ted, caught plenty of snook. Then the big catch of the day was the 6ft Tarpon my brother caught! Exactly want you want to do! Thanks Ted!

Captain Ted was fantastic! He was great with our 13 year old - super patient and helped her learn how to fish!! We caught a ton of fish all morning - and he kept our lines in action. It was a wonderful day on the water! Will definitely book him next time in town. Thanks Captain Ted!
