Fred Gowdy Charters Customer Reviews

Our fishing trip was fantastic! Captain Fred had so much energy! If the fish weren't biting, we would move to the next spot, he never ran out of spots. We caught fish at almost all of them, we would move when the catfish started biting. We highly recommend Fred Gowdy Charters...

Our group consisted of two adults and a nine-year-old, all novices at fishing. Jeff was exceptional with our sometimes-fussy child. He displayed a wealth of knowledge and navigated us to multiple fishing locations. Despite the fish being initially unresponsive, Jeff persisted and...

Fred was great! He got us onto some Redfish right away. He has great knowledge of the waters and where the best habitat is. We also caught some Snook and Sheephead. My daughter and I had an awesome time.

Fred kept us on fish and was a fantastic guide, educational, entertaining trip....not trophy's but a windy day and my expectations were fulfilled, Fred knows his business.

The fishing was fantastic, and the captain knows his stuff. Peacock bass are fierce fighters.

This morning, the elderly guy and I arranged a half-day tour with Fred. All I have to say is that expectations were exceeded! Fred is really good at making you feel at ease and is highly knowledgable about the ocean. I'm not a huge fisherman, but he was quite helpful. We had Shee...

Wonderful experience that I will definitely suggest to others!
