Fred Gowdy Charters Customer Reviews

Fun day with Fred and my son Jack. Snook, snapper and some other local fish. Manatees were a bonus.

I normally am a Gulf fishing person. A friend recommended Fred to go out freshwater fishing for Peacock Bass. I contacted Fred Gowdy charters. I had a fantastic day. We boated probably 20 fish. Even got a 4 lb Peacock!!! Fred is great to fish with!! Knowledgeable and fun to be wi...

Wonderful day of Peacock Bass fishing with Fred! He knows where and how to find them! A lesson in how to site fish for them and get them to attack. Everything you need and the advice to just reel and not set the hook!

Landed a keeper on the first cast! An unforgettable trip for me and my 12-year-old son. Thanks again!

First of all I would recommend a six hour trip.Fred has many spots for a variety of fish. Weather, tides and of course red tide can affect any fishing but Fred found us a great day of fishing!

Fred took my family out to Hickory Island to fish and explore, then took us into the river for more fishing. He helped my kid land a 24" snook, which was incredibly exciting! Very fun day, great tour guide, really good guy to talk to. Next time we vacation in Florida, we will ca...

Booked a 4 hour trip with Fred. He is amazing! Put us right on the fish! Over 25 snook in the first hour. We caught huge red fish too! Three of us fishing, at one time, and he kept our poles baited and in water. He knows the spots, for sure. Highly recommended!! Thank you Fred!

Went peacock fishing, had an absolute blast! Caught lots of fish. Fred is extremely knowledgeable about the areas fished. Looking for a great charter captain, look no further!

Called last minute and scheduled a trip for my family. CPT Fred Gowdy was extremely accommodating as well as the fish. Kids had a blast as well as my wife and I. I would highly recommend CPT Fred and his services. We will be calling him again the next time we are in the area for ...

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 an outstanding boat captain, showing exceptional friendliness towards me, my eight-year-old son, and my uncle. He took us to multiple locations where he anticipated we would find fish. My son even caught an impressive eight-pound black drum, a moment of great pride for h...

Great trip. Grandkids loved it. Captain Fred is personable and did a great job. Great experience. Cooked the red fish tonight and it was wonderful!

Captain Goudey embodies the qualities you seek in a fishing guide: personable, informed, and genuinely enjoyable company for a day on the water. We were blessed with a pleasant early February day, and he skillfully guided us to catch fish in various ways throughout our half-day c...

Despite the frigid South Florida weather, Captain Fred Gowdy ensured we were catching fish for most of the day. We didn't anticipate much, but Fred went above and beyond to find the right spots for my son and me. We reeled in a variety of fish, but the one I was eager to catch wa...
