Capt. Terry wrote Andrew asking how the Cuda was on the table, Andrew's reply.
We're alive.
HAHA. It was ver good. We ate it very simply-lemon and butter.
We had a wonderful time out there Terry. Thanks again. We're totally hooked on Siesta Beach and will most certainly be back. I continued fishing the rest of the week. Each morning I walked a mile and a half down the Point of Rocks, usually beating Lee there, and threw the Yuzuiri pinfinfish diver which was the only lure I used all week. Then the rest of the day was spent right outside our beach house swimming with the kids and fishing all day. FABULOUS. I caught some big snook (biggest was 29"), spanish mackerel, sea trout, sea bass, blue runner (some big ones), smal snapper, and some others I didn't know what the heck they were. I could go on and on.
Anyway....thanks again and we hope to see you sooner rather than later.
Here are a couple pictures of the fest of our trip.

Ahoy! Thank you so much for the great pictures! Our Sam is truly a ham in almost all he does and those certainly capture his spirit! We so loved our excursion and have told many of our friends about our adventure. Don't be surprised if you receive a phone call or two in the future from some of our friends. Once again, a great family adventure that my family will remember forever. Thanks again!

And now, a message from Sam the Ham Species king Stuber:
Hi captain Terry I wish I caught the Flounder I think I know why they call them Flounder because they are flat. Thank you again it was the best fishing trip I went on. It was cool to see the Dolphins. I'm about to tell the story to my friends at school. Thanks again for taking us fishing.

Hi Terry,
I just wanted to say thank you for last Thursday's charter. C.J. Chuck and my Uncle Mike had a ball. My aunt and I enjoyed watching C.J. catch the Cobia, seeing the houses and visiting Bird Island. We will definitely recommend you to our family and friends who want to go on charters.
Thx.

Capt. Terry,
Can't tell you how much fun my brother and I had fishing with you. Not only did we catch fish but we learned a lot through your wisdom. Looking forward to hooking sometime again soon!
Best,
Bob

Capt. Terry,
I was kind of concerned about weather or not we would like the redfish David caught, none of us has ever eaten it before.
My wife, Edith, marinated it in a sauce that she had used before for about an hour or so. I barbecued it and of course and as things happen, although the gauge of my propane barbecue indicated that we had enough gas, it ran out before the fish was done. I changed bottles and had to guess at the timing and was lucky and hit it right on.
The fish was dynamite, we have some left over and Edith will make fish salad out of it. Very white, very mild and very sweet.
Once again, we can't thank you enough for a great afternoon and a wonderful dinner this evening.

Capt. Terry,
We just wanted to write and thank you for a great time! We also wanted everyone to know what a great trip you provided not only for my kids but my wife and I as well. We started out by seeing manatees and dolphins. Then the kids did a little fishing and caught numerous types of fish. Then we did some sightseeing and birding. And just when the kids needed to run around we did some shelling on a sandbar/island only accessable by boat. Your all around knowledge and patience with the kids made for a great trip. If anyone needs a great charter trip, Reelin & Chillin is the way to go!
Thanks again, Keith, Tracey, Russell & Emma from N.J.

Terry,
We just want you to know we had a great time!!! Of all the captains out there, we are glad we came across you. The experiences the girls had with fishing, getting familiar with the marine life and saving the pelican are all events that will stay with them a long time.
Thanks again!!!!!

Hey Captain Terry,
Just a note to let you know that we enjoyed our day on the water very much. The girls have not stopped talking about the boat ride and seeing the Manatees. I have a friend who will be down sometime in July and would like to get a guide out of Siesta Key. Do you know of any guides down that way? Let me know when you can and again we had a great day on the water. Thanks so much.

Capt. Terry,
Just a short note to thank you for a wonderful day and fishing trip. It was definitely a highlight in a wonderful vacation. Your patience with the younger ones was impressive and they really enjoyed you personality. They talked about petting the manatees all week. We will definitely give you a call next year for another visit.
Thanx again and be safe.

Hi Captain Terry,
This is Bill from PA. Just wanted to let you know the boys (Liam, Cole and Adam) and I all had a great time fishing with you. We really appreciated your style and patience and you made it a great experience.
By the way - the fish tasted great and your recommendation on how to cook the Spanish Mackeral was excellent.
If we come to Sarasota next year, we'll be sure to book a day with you.
Hope all is well with you.

Captain Terry, I want to thank you for the INCREDIBLE fishing experience we had on Thursday (it was my first gulf experience). I can't even venture a guess on how many fish we caught. (easily 100+) I hope your hands are heeled up from all the leaders you had to re-tie due to the damage ALL those mackerel caused. NON-STOP action is/was an understatement. Collin had a blast and already said he doesn't want to go to Disney next year and wants to know if we can fish with you next year. My father-in-law mentioned we could go twice in the same week and spend less money than Disney. (Sounds good to me) FYI We had a pretty big fish dinner that night and let me tell you that the cobia is one of the best tasting fish I have ever eaten. I also liked the pompano & mackerel. Thanks again. Matt Kolbe Muskegon, Michigan.

Thanks for the pics!
We had a great time and thought you were top notch! What a wonderful time we had, especially my DAD.
Thank again, Amy Lieby and family
Terry (Captain Hook): Thanks for giving our family a great day on the water! I know we put more people in your boat than is normal for you're charters but you gave us a really fun day (gramps thought it beat the heck out of Disney World) Chole and Brooke were a little bit disappointed that you were not a real Pirate, perhaps you should work on that image! Our family had a great day! You showed great patience with all of our amateur fisherpersons. Although we did not catch any big ones the action was good and we used up all the shrimp (we did not find any in the kid's pockets when we got home). We had a great day Terry Thanks - I hope we can do it again.

Dear Terry,
Thanks again for taking us out for my husband's birthday. We had such a great time. You run an awesome charter service. We absolutely plan to be back again and are sending you some of our friends as well as new clients.
Take care and thanks again for a great charter! Liisa and Rex Temple

Hi Terry!
We had a great time - thanks so much! We can't wait to come back and do it again! I have a ton of pics from our trip w/you, but was hoping for some better shots of the dolphins in case you needed them for your site. Thanks for a fun time out on the water. Great meeting you and looking forward to the next time!
Kim (and family)

Hello Terry:
We all had a great time and look forward to coming back next year. Thanks again for your expert guiding and we will try to think of that day when it reaches -20 degrees in Bismarck.
Thanks,

Captain Terry,
Jesus' joy to you!
Thanks again for a splendid morning. I sure enjoyed the chance to get to know you better... and the adventrue!
You should have seen Nat beaming, presenting the fish to his mom. And then he had to call his grandpa right away, to tell him all about it. We did have a great time together.
Thanks!

Hi Terry,
Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the nature/photo outing. I was pretty pleased with how the photos turned out - although I have a lot of room for improvement. Have attached a couple of pictures. I would definitely be interested in doing that again - maybe during the winter.
Thanks again, Judith King
Captain's Note: I was so impressed with the photo Judith took of a manatee that I replaced the one I had with hers on my photography website - see Judith's pic on www.naturetourflorida.com

Capt. Terry,
I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful time we had today and send you a couple of photos. We are looking forward to going out again sometime in August. We will definetly be calling you. Again Thank You for a lifetime in our memories.

Terry,
We all had a great time, your trip was perfect. The kids couldn't stop talking about the manatee the whole way home. Definitely the highlight of the trip. We are already booked for two weeks next June. We would love another day aboard your ship. Might have some real fisherman along, so we could do a regular charter. Thanks again and we hope your summer is safe and free from hurricanes.

Terry,
Jonathan and I had a very special and truly wonderful time out fishing with you last Friday! And I can't thank you enough for your patience and understanding in working with a very excited 8 year old. His first fish will be a lifetime memory!
We are really looking forward to going out on June 8th! See you then.

Terry,
Thanks for the pictures and thanks for a great day on the water. We're
back in Omaha and both boys said the charter was the highlight of their
trip to Florida!
You're a great guide and I hope to fish with you again next time we come
down to visit Eli's and Joseph's Grandfather.
Just a thought...recommend you provide a "Testimonials" link on your
home page. It would fill up quickly with accolades of your service and
is a great way to help people decide on a charter.
And thanks again for the extra two hours!
John Martin

Hello Captain Terry,
Just a note to thank you for taking David out twice!! on your boat. Both David and Colin
enjoyed the trips and we enjoyed eating the fish caught. I'm not sure how many more times I am going to have
to listen to the story about the huge fish he caught but I am sure about one thing and that is the fishing trips
were the highlight of his holiday. Having just printed out the photographs I feel thankful that the fish was so
large to hide his fat stomach. He now plans to go on a diet so hopefuly when we both return in March 2006 he
may be a couple of stone lighter. Once again, thankyou for looking after the both of them and hopefully we
may may see you in March.
Maria Wright

Terry
Thank you for being the highlight of my 2 weeks stay in Florida. The two trips out with you made the holiday.;9 varieties
on the first trip (6 I had never seen before) and 38 snook and a big red on the second. I have seen our photographs
on your website and we know who put the big red on David's hook (including David).
From your website I see that your daughter is in the gulf. It's a pity we never spoke about our families because my
eldest daughter is in the British Army and has served in Kosovo, Macedonia and Northern Ireland. She is 34 years old
(this weekend) and a Major in the Royal Artillery. Her husband (also a Major) worked with the american forces as a liaison officer during the Gulf War.
If I never again visit America (this was the first time) I will remember you as a true professional but more than that a Gentalman
