El Pescador Fishing Charters, Indian Shores FL

What an amazing trip! Captain and First Mate were early, gave us an amazing safety brief before heading out to make sure we all knew what to do and where everything was in the event of an emergency. We got to catch bait, bait our own hooks, cast our own rods, and handle our own fish. We were on fish ALL day! If we had more than a few minutes of no fish, we moved to a new spot. We had SO much fun with the crew and the boat was top notch. Plenty of space and everything was better than I could have imagined. We will definitely be back to see him next year!

My husband and I contacted El Pescador to inquire about a charter trip. We had never been to Florida to fish. They were extremely helpful, friendly and informative. We enjoyed our time with Pedro while fishing and will 100% be back to fish again! We caught an amazing variety of fish and they were super helpful being able to pack them for us to be able to bring them home.

I took this day charter with friends about six weeks ago. The weather was a little rough and I was given the opportunity to cancel/reschedule if I wanted. I was told would be a little rough and wet but safe to go. I’m not afraid of some swell so we went. Pedro was an awesome captain. He gave everyone a safety pre check (pretty rare to see) and handled the boat with great skill. Being a boater myself, could appreciate his knowledge and despite some rough water, the trip was pretty smooth. Yes we got a little wet, but the temps were high and the water was refreshing. We went about 60 miles offshore. Once we got to our spot, fish hit within minutes. When things slowed, we moved 5-10 min away and we had hits again. We hit our limits before the end of the day. We released anything too small or out of season and he had all the necessary equipment. His helper Logan was on our rod the moment we had a fish to dehook or to refresh our bait. Our fish was cleaned and filleted beautifully. And by the way, he had an awesome playlist of music to listen to the whole trip! I would recommend them in a heartbeat and can’t wait to go out again.

This company is Amazing from booking to fishing! When I first booked with Morgan over the phone our party consisted of 6 guys. As time for our vacation quickly approached 6 more of our friends decided they wanted to go as well. I called Morgan back and asked if they had another boat and she was happy to oblige! The next week more guys decided on going as well, so I called Morgan again asking for a third boat! She made it happen with another company so that all 18 friends could fish together! From scheduling to meeting location and paying everything went extremely smooth! My husband and our family/ friends all say it was the best charter they have ever been on! They caught more fish than they could count and we could eat! We fed 45 people at our fish fry that night and brought more home! The captains were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, down to earth guys. Next year they want to do a full day out instead of a half day. Thank you all for a wonderful day for my guys!

We caught a lot of fish.
Professional captain and clean boat.
Must go fishing with him again.

We had an absolutely amazing time today on our charter. Captain Pedro was excellent. He kept us right in the middle of all the action. He was also very knowledgeable about the fish we caught and also facts about the area. We will do our best to book again!

One of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on! When we went out we had some rough seas at first. Pedro was great and constantly asked if we were okay. Once we got to the fishing grounds the team at El Pescador was changing the baits and keeping us on the fish! We caught a ton! We had a fisherman in our group that it was their first time ever fishing. The crew gave them the extra attention needed and helped out from start to finish. If you’re thinking of booking a charter trip and don’t use these guys you’re missing out!

This company is hands down the best

Second time fishing with El Pescador and captain Pedro. Absolutely fantastic experience again! Captain Pedro puts you on the fish and is great with kids! Nice clean boat and always a good time. Will be coming back to fish with El Pescador many more times in the future!

My family and I had an awesome time on the charter. Pedro was friendly and knowledgeable and his first mate was a huge help to us all. Would definitely do again.

Listen here, this is hands down the number one company to book. Captain Pedro simply put is amazing. He was so welcoming, amazing spots, when I tell you my arm was sore from all the fish we caught. We had an absolute blast. I will for sure be coming back! I’ve never seen fish this big let alone catch them. I was smiling from ear to ear the entire time. All I can say is thank you for making an amazing day.

Amazing trip! Excellent crew and even better memories. No need to look any further if you’re looking for a top-tier fishing charter.

GREATEST Father/Son Fishing Trip Ever. Captain Pedro, El Pescador Fishing Charters, is the BEST! First, Captain Pedro and Morgan stepped up and "saved our day" and took us deep water fishing when our "original fishing charter" had last minute boat engine troubles. They even honored our original pricing. We had a wonderful, fun and enjoyable time with our terrific fishing guide, Captain Pedro, on May 24,2023. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, talkative with a GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR. His boat was room, comfortable, safe, fast with all the high tech instruments. The weather was perfect. We caught the most fish ever, FIFTY-FOUR (54) and almost half were "keepers". At one of the handful of fishing spots, we were catching fish almost as fast as Captain Pedro could bait our hooks. We had many "belly laughs" from all our fishing stories and banter. My son and I have gone charter fishing numerous times, and this was one of our best times ever. The meeting place was EZ to find with plenty of $2 parking places available. Captain Pedro cleaned all our fish and Morgan vacuumed pack all the fillets. WE WILL GO FISHING WITH CAPTAIN PEDRO again and HIGHLY RECOMMEND EL PESCADOR FISHING CHARTERS. GOD BLESS THEM!

Best fishing captain and charter. We caught fish. Most times we had two on at the same time. Pedro’s boat is perfect for groups up to 6. He was funny, helpful and high energy. Arm per Fi.

From the 1st time speaking with Morgan I knew we had made the right choice. El Pescador for the win! Great customer service, she was able to answer all my questions with no hesitation! Captain Pedro was awesome (great music). Made sure the kids had a blast. Can't wait to eat our catch and ready to book again. Thanks again for everything!

The best experience fishing we have ever had. Pedro made the trip perfect from start to finish. He kept bait on 5 hooks all day and no one ever waited. We got on a lot of big fish and we’re always reeling. If you didn’t have one in 90 seconds it’s because the fish took your bait, not because it wasn’t there. We are planning our next trip with Pedro right now!

I cannot say enough good things about this charter. I’ve been on quite a few and none have held a candle to this one. Captain Pedro is a very genuine guy and knows his stuff. I would absolutely 10/10 recommend.

Great Experience and trip. Initially booked an 8 hour trip but due to weather and seas went out for a four hour trip. Weather was rough but Capt Pedro kept us safe and as comfortable as possible. We had a blast despite less than ideal conditions and we still got a ton of fish! Capn Pedro is a very good captain and a super personable guy! Can’t wait to fish with el pescador again!
