We had an amazing time with Captain Jay and first mate John. They are both very knowledgeable and kind. We were able to catch our limit even though the storm a few days prior brought some uncertainty about the conditions. We were able to ask questions and get honest answers to help build our skills as fishermen and fisherlady! These are the types of people you want to go out with down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable and truly enjoy fishing and not just in it for the paycheck.

FishingBooker offered lots of excellent options for off shore, in shore and fresh water fishing. Having never fished fresh water before, I chose a charter on Lake Ida. It is close to where my brother and sister-in-law have their vacation home in Delray Beach. It was easy to find the right charter with Adam at Locked N Loaded and to select the 6-hour package. Communication was seamless and the experience was absolutely amazing. Special thanks for reminding me to get my fishing license too.

Very poor customer service! Absolutely not worth the fee that we paid for 3 people! Captain was more interested in texting and paid little attention to us. We caught 1 small tarpon near the bridge, and when we requested to move to a different site, he said "in 20 minutes". I don't know why. We fished for 10 minutes at the new site and caught nothing. I didn't know whether we would catch many fish, but the customer service was appalling! Stay away from this company!

Sascha and the other two gentlemen that I totally forget there names were amazing. We were picked up at the resort on time and once we got to the boat it didn't take much time at all to throw the lines and head out into deep water. The boat was extremely clean and loaded with everything we needed, even sodas, beers and water. They are all very knowledgeable and the find the bird technique was spot on. You see birds you catch fish. We caught 19 black and yellow fin tuna and got some cut up right on the boat marinated for a bit in jerk seasoning, of course. On the way in they took us by a huge reef to see it's beauty. They were never looking at watches and completely took there time with my wife and I. We are heading back there very soon and have all ready made plans to book them again so my wife can catch that big one she's hoping for. It was an amazing experience

Booked a time slot for my son and I. Terms said deposit would only be charged after the Captain confirmed. My deposit was charged to my credit card. I never actually heard from the captain, so I messaged through the site. My booking was immediate cancelled, and I got an auto message that my deposit would be returned within 7 days.

My suspicion - the site didn't wait for the captain to confirm and charged me before confirmation. It didn't follow the procedure it said it would. I'm stuck without enough time to book another trip, too close to the trip date, and my son and I don't have availability due to work and other trips for 6 weeks for another trip, so we're just out of luck.

I will never attempt to use the site again, will only book by direct calling charter services and booking directly through them.

I booked trip in Virginia Beach & put $55 deposit. The captain calls the day before & tells me he doesn't think he can go & to cancel. I do this on line. Fish Booker tells me it's to late to cancel & keeps my $55. What a scam!

Fishing Booker made it so easy for us to find a last minute fishing charter. Rich was an incredible captain who was helpful but not domineering and he taught us a lot while we fished. We caught a lot of fish (I think about 5 or 6 kinds) and we brought home enough for 3-4 big meals for 4 people. We had SO much fun and laughed a lot while we were on our adventure. I would HIGHLY recommend Reel Rich Fishing and would definitely book him again!

In April, I booked a half-day afternoon charter with Fish Hunter Tours. We left out of Crystal River, Fl., and fished the mangrove islands along the coast. Over the course of the scheduled trip (1:00 to 5:00 pm), we hooked into a couple of really nice fish, but lost them. And these fish (the 'ones that got away') were absolute monsters. On my mother's grave, I swear they were almost as big as the boat! But despite these hook ups, by the end of the scheduled charter, we had not landed any keeper fish. So instead of coming in at the scheduled time, Captain Bryan decided to keep on fishing. He went the extra mile, and we stayed out until the fish bite (and the 'no-see-ums' bite) really turned on. We were finally forced to come home when we ran out of bait. The charter ended with a bang and everyone had a great time. I highly recommend you book a trip with Captain Bryan Frechette of Fish Hunter Tours.

We went out with Captain Tyler with Born and raised charters out of Goodland. He took my dad and I out on the back waters, where it looked like a maze of mangroves. We got to experience dolphins jumping along with our wake, which made the trip twice as good. Can't forget the best part, we didn't know much about setting up a pole so he helped us out with that and put us in the right spot. After he helped us we were hooking them on faster than we thought! He knows the back water inside and out! I would highly recommend Captain Tyler with Born and Raise charter! He will put you on fish! AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
