It was a awesome day to say the least. The captain was really communicative, fun and super friendly. I felt like he really genuinely wanted me to catch fish which we deffinitley did. We had many bites throughout the day i’d say at least a dozen if not more good ones but this was my first time fishing so almost all of them got away or got off the hook due to me being inexperienced. Even with that being said i managed to catch 2 tarpons. One of which was arpund 25 pounds if i had to guess and another that was very very large id say around 140 pounds and around 6ft long.

We had a fantastic day on the water with Captain Gaby! He put us on fish and did a fantastic job getting fish in the boat. He is very knowledgeable about the area and his experience shows. My son caught his biggest fish ever! You can’t ever make the fish bite, but Captain Gaby put us in the right places to give us our best chance. We boated 3 of them but had many, many bites. He was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with and I would strongly recommend him to take you out on a tarpon trip! Thank you so much for the trip of a lifetime!!

We booked the half-day trip with Captain Clery Morales for my son and me.   I requested a change to do my original AM booking and my request was approved within 5 minutes using the online app.  Captain Clery provided all of the fishing gear and was extremely knowledgeable of the area and where the best spots were to catch fish, other boats were approaching our spot as we were catching fish.  He was very helpful with tips on how to prevent the Tarpon from throwing off the hook.  He had a great personality and kept us laughing during the trip.  The overall trip was a wonderful afternoon of fishing and between the two of us, we hooked 8 and landed 5 big tarpons, these fish were jumping sideways and upside down to get the hook off.  He put on some great victory music on the return.  We would most certainly book with Captain Clery again and will recommend it to friends.

We had a great trip out with Captain Clery! Very friendly, patient and all around geniune fun happy person to be around. He was very informing throughout the entire trip and made us feel comfortable. I would highly recommend anyone to join him for a fun filled fishing day!!!

This is our second time chartering this boat in two years. This time we are fortunate to fly down just to go fishing with Capt Cleary and the Backwater Fishing PR crew. It’s always a good time and we’ve been always on the catch. The captains really know what they’re talking about they got us right on the fish with really fresh bait. I will be returning again next year.
