Awesome day fishing. Teddy knew exactly where to go to catch fish. He was very attentive to our teenager and seven year old. Teddy made Lucas birthday one he will never forget. He took great pictures throughout the day. I would recommend Reel Addict Fishing Charters without hesitation. We are looking forward to repeating this experience next year when our grandsons visit.
If you are looking to fish the Crystal River area look no further, Teddy is an amazing guide! We have fished multiple times with Teddy, he is super patient and engaging - great with kids! I have his number on speed dial for whenever we are in the area, he is that good!
We really enjoyed our fishing trip today with Captain Teddy. We caught a variety of fish including Speckled Sea Trout, Red Fish, Cobia, and Mangrove Snapper. We would have caught a Snook and a Sheepshead, but they were able to escape. In addition, we saw dolphins, sharks, stingrays and sea turtles. It was a fishing trip we will always remember and Captain Teddy went above and beyond to make it extra special. Thank you
