“Erik is very knowledgeable and patient. I learned about fishing and much more from him. His wife is so kind. I think they are a great team on educating. Thank you for the knowledge and experience.”

“Oh these guys, how can i say this.. they are awesome. Sense of humour, patient, fun, incredibly outgoing, knowledgeable. I could go on. Book them. Now. Do it. But don’t book a spot i need because i will go out with these folks again. Thanks for an awesome couple of hours!”

L. Forsyth

“They provided my son and I one of the most memorable experiences of our lives! Captain Eric is so full of fishing info! If you want to take fishing to a new level I highly recommend having a #hobieday with #Fishlikeus.”

“I cannot say enough positive things about my charter with Captain Eric and Janel. Everything is provided you just show up and be ready to catch some great fish!!! This is a MUST if you are visiting the sarasota area or just want to treat yourself or special someone to an epic day that will be sure to give lots of fantastic memories.”

C. Drury

“Captain Eric is one of the most passionate and educated fishermen I have run across!! We had a great time. I have been fishing here in Florida all season and tried some YouTube video’s but nothing can even get close compared to 3 hours with this guy!!! I have wasted more money than what I paid captain Eric for lessons in bait trying to learn by myself. Thank you so much!!!”

K. Weaver

“There are no two people who care more about you having a fantastic and successful fishing experience than Janel and Erik. AND, they videotape it so you can watch. My grandchildren were totally blasted by the fun we had with these two. They have only watched the video 1 or 2 thousand times.”

Had 2 fantastic days with Captain Erik in late May/early June. Caught multiple fish each outing and over several years have caught fish every time with Erik. My recent charters included tarpon and a 40” snook. Captain is very knowledgeable and does a great job coaching while on the charter. I learn something new every time I use Fish Like Us. Great experience which is safe, fun, educational and exceeds my expectations every time! I highly recommend booking a charter. We’ll be back regularly! Thank you!

My husband and I just took the Manatee tour and it was amazing! I am disabled and Captain Eric & Chuck were very patient and helpful. We learned a lot and were able to see lots of manatee. I highly recommend this tour!!

I highly recommend this charter. Captain Erik is a great charter guide. He knows his stuff and I felt 100% safe the entire time. Captain Erik’s Leg Powered Pedal kayak glides through the water with little effort. The only part of my body that will be sore tomorrow is my arm from catching massive fish.

Captain Eric is on of the most insightful passionate folks I have ever met! His wealth of subtle fishing tactics will push my freshwater skills considerably higher. He is the BEST to learn a totally new approach to coastal water fishing! #haveahobbieday
