Had a wonderful time. Rudy is very knowledgeable and great! Would definitely recommend them and go again.
Thank you Glad you had a good time. Come back soon….
First time booking a charter due to cost. I have been fishing all my life from freshwater to inshore on a small personal boat. I can except poor days on the water and consider it lack of knowledge on my part when I leave empty handed, but is this normal to not catch more than 2 small triggerfish and 1 other small fish from 8 hrs on a professional deep sea charter? I feel like the experienced person is what you are paying for. I don’t know if weather played a part or not but it was never mentioned if it was. It was a beautiful day on the water. Rudy and his son Mike are very nice people and did bait our hooks so I paid without question but if this is what happens for the money, it was my first and last trip.

Some days are better than others. This day turned out to be one of the the worst day fishing for us. There was no wind, no current and no drift, which makes it hard to fish. I tried everything I could to find the fish. This is not typical of our fishing trips. We usually put you on the fish. I trolled baits for 2 hours from 80 feet to 560 feet of water to try and catch a pelagic for you. In total we went 48 miles from the breakers to Juno ledge. We even tried live bait and no luck. I am sorry that we could not put any fish in the boat. Mike and I were as disappointed as well. This is not how we like our day to end. It is not about the money. It is about taking people out to have fun fishing, and catch fish. We enjoyed having the three of you fishing with us. I hope you will try again, maybe in the spring or summer months when the mahi and king fish are running. If you choose to try, I will discount your next trip by 20%.

We had a great day on the boat with Captain Rudy. My 3 year old loves fishing and had a wonderful experience!
Thank you. Hope to see you all again.
My wife & I recently booked a half-day charter with Captain Rudy. First let me say that Rudy was very friendly, personable and polite. His son (who is usually his first mate) had gotten sick and was unable to make the trip with us that morning, which was not the biggest deal considering there were only 2 of us fishing, but it put more responsibilities on Captain Rudy. We had booked a 4hr trip from 8a-12p. We caught a small shark, a couple triggerfish, a couple grunts and one mutton snapper that was too small to keep. Bad weather (thunder & lightning) cut our trip short by about an hour and we ended the day with only 2 Yellowtail that were big enough to keep. Full disclosure - we were also boarded by the Florida Wildlife Commission during our charter (which is out of Captain Rudy’s control), but it was a little unsettling to find that his Charter License for the State of Florida was expired by almost a month. Overall there were no huge glaring problems with the day, but I wish I could say things turned out better - there were multiple issues (no mate, expired charter license, shortened trip) which unfortunately did not make the trip a very memorable one for myself and my wife. With those multiple issues we thought/hoped maybe a small discount would have been offered, but that never happened. We hold no ill will against Captain Rudy and we hope he gets his charter license renewed ASAP so his next clients do not have to undergo the same awkward encounter we did with the FWC. I would not tell other specifically not to book with Captain Rudy be cause my gut tells me this was an isolated incident and just a bad set of coincidences, but I will say we have done several charters in other locations and enjoyed them more.

First let me say that I am sorry you did not have a pleasant trip with me. In 11 years of being a charter captain I have never had a bad review before. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later, no one is perfect. I strive to give my customers the best trip that I can give. Unfortunately, there are times when the fish are not cooperating. I try moving to different spots that I have in order to try and find the fish. Yes we did come back a little early. The trip leaves at 8am and returns to the dock by 12. If there are fish to clean for the customer that time does go past the 12 pm . This is the nature of doing business. We were back at the dock by 1130 because of the lightning. (30 min early) I was going to fish one more area and the flash of lightning happened and you wanted to go in, and I agreed, Safety First. As far as the Florida Fishing license being expired, that was entirely my fault, an oversite. As I discussed with you on the boat I have been dealing with a very sick horse for the past 2 months, we didn’t know if she was going to make it or not so I was preoccupied and didn’t realize it expired Sept 13th. I renewed the license the same day. No excuse. I should have known. It will not happen again. As far as a discount, I do not know of captains that give discounts of the trip due to not catching fish or bad weather moving in. However, we can certainly offer a discount on a return trip, if you choose to try again. I am deeply sorry that you were not satisfied as my customer. My goal is to have all positive experiences and hopefully put some fish in the boat that you can take home. Once again I thank you for the 80.00 tip that you gave me. I hope your next experience will be better for you, whether with me or another captain.
