The mark of a great captain, making a trip fun even if the fishing is slow. We caught snook, redfish, jacks and snapper. So to me it was a very successful trip, but it seems like the whole fleet struggled. Fred worked his butt off to find the fish covering miles of water. He gave us great instruction, and helped whenever it was needed. Fred is definitely a pro at pulling lures out of the trees we casted into! Will definitely book again

The weather was as cold as it gets in S Florida yet Cap Fred Gowdy had us on Fish most of the day. We didn’t expect much but he worked his butt off to get me and my son on the spots. We caught a half dozen different type of fish yet the only one I really wanted was a Snook. That was my first catch of the Day. We caught Snapper, Sheepshead, Snook, Catfish, and a Bonnethead Shark. You could say it was luck but I think it was the hard work that Fred Gowdy Charters put into it. Very very happy.

Took my 2 teenagers for a backwater afternoon. Fred knew all the right places to catch fish. We caught about 50 fish and kept a few for dinner. Fred was patient with the boys and made sure we were safe the entire time. We all had fun and learned a bit. Good variety of fish caught as well.
