Full Day Trip – Inshore
This is my 2nd year fishing with Captain Eric. This year’s trip was even better than last year. He put us on some big Bull Reds - 34” and 36” in the boat and lost another one after a good fight.
He also put us on a variety of fish that we were able to take home and eat - They were delicious!!
When we got into the fish at the end of the trip, instead of him telling us that our time is up, he asked if we wanted to keep fishing. With a resounding Yes, we kept fishing until all the bait was gone and we put 2 additional fish in the boat that we could take home to eat.
Thank you to Captain Eric for working tirelessly to get us on the fish and keep us on the fish.
I am already looking forward to our fishing adventure next year!!

Half Day Trip – Nearshore/Offshore
We had a great time with Eric and a beautiful day. He took us out to a few reefs a bit of shore where there were quite a few different species of fish. Eric was very helpful in teaching my wife on her first time fishing. We realized we aren’t the greatest at fishing and a lot of the fish stole our bait. Sometimes Eric hooked a fish or two and let us reel it in. We caught a few red snappers but unfortunately had to throw them back. We did have some keepers at the end and Eric expertly fileted them so we could cook them up later that night. Ultimately, Eric maintained a high level of professionalism and proficiency throughout our charter and we would recommend Drop Em Down Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a fishing experience.

Half Day Trip – Nearshore/Offshore
We started the trip headed to a artificial reef and caught a few fish and after catching the same fish the captain moved to a better location were we caught a variety of fish after a couple hours the captain started to toss a line with cut up fish on it (I had let him know I was trying to catch a shark) and after a few bites we hooked into a shark he handed me the pole and after a 2 hour fight a thunderstorm rolled in and we had to head back but I was happy with the entire experience
