This is your guy. With or without experience, Barry will teach and show you what it takes. He will take you to several places and find the fish and you will see some awesome sights. We did a backwater trip and it was great!  I will be calling on him again. His boat and equipment are well maintained and cared for.

This was a last-minute booking…I initiated the trip late afternoon before the morning we wanted to fish.  Capt Barry connected shortly after with clear instructions for how/when to meet and everything we would need to be prepared.

The meet-up went just as planned, and we had an excellent outing.  The boat was in good shape; the equipment was excellent.  Capt Barry had us on fish the entire time.  We didn’t catch any trophies, but were consistently catching fish—six different species in all. 

Capt Barry provided insightful guidance for both semi-experienced and low-experienced members of our party.  He also shared a lot of interesting information on local habitat and wildlife.  He was very friendly and engaging.  He was very intentional about taking high quality pictures and sent all the pictures and a copy of the fish log shortly after the charter. 

I would definitely book Capt Barry again.

Capt. Barry Cuda started off with a quick lesson on fishing safely and the rules on his boat. Within 5 minutes we were on fish. Catching 26 fish and 13 different species. He took amazing pictures of every fish we caught and every picture came out great as he was a professional photographer before starting his fishing charter business. It was nice not having to bait a single hook and watching him unhook the cat fish with his fancy flip. I grew up fishing inshore on the east coast of Florida and have never had as good of a day as I did with Capt. Barry. When he dropped us off at the dock another captain was waiting for people and he asked how our day was. When we told him we caught a 27.5 and 28 inch red fish, 3 snook and another 23 fish, he instantly knew he couldn’t do the same for the people he was taking out for the day and his face showed it. Capt Barry Cuda knows the waters and I’m pretty sure the fish speakk to him on exactly where to cast the lines. I would personally recommend him to anyone who wants to enjoy there time on the water and catch fish.

We have lived in Naples for a year and caught nothing but catfish, so wanted to learn a new approach to inshore fishing. I took my wife and two kids out with Captain Barry and it was great!  He was very knowledgeable, had some great life stories, but most of all, very patient and attentive with my kids. My 8 year old son caught 4 snook and my daughter was able to catch mangrove snapper. We were so excited to catch new fish but even more excited to take what we learned and reuse on the water. I would highly recommend Captain Barry!

We had a great time today with Captain Barry Cuda fishing.  His boat is in excellent shape and is a really nice boat, very comfortable.  Captain Cuda takes care of everything and provides you with great learning tips for salt water fishing and fishing these species.  We had 9 different species in the boat today and some where firsts for myself, my brother and my Dad which made it a lot of fun.  Thanks again for the great day Barry
