Fred Gowdy Charters Customer Reviews

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!

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...

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...

Captain Fred is a true professional who knows how to make a day on the water exceptional. From the moment we stepped on his boat, it was evident that he takes great pride in his work. His passion for fishing and the ocean shines through in every aspect of the charter. Captain Fre...

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.

Visiting from the UK, I selected Captain Gowdy based on positive reviews. After discussing with Fred before the trip, we decided that the 4-Hour Trip – Peacock Bass & Snook would be the best fit for my son and me, considering the high bay water temperatures and our best chance fo...

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...
