Eric is super knowledgeable and set me up with good shots all day. His boat is clean, and his gear is top knotch. Went out fly fishing with him and was humbled trying to make quick casts in the wind under pressure. If you're coming from trout country and want to try saltwater fly fishing, maybe bring a spin rod just in case.

Eric is a fantastic guide. Had a great fishing trip with him. Caught many fish. Highly recommend!

I’ve hired Eric for multiple trips including backcountry and Peacock Bass. Eric is a great guide, very knowledgeable about multiple species, always on time, and his boat and gear are always in top notch shape.

Wonderful experience. Eric asked is I wanted to target any species. I did, bucket list fish “bonefish” the elusive ghost fish of the Florida Keys and Bahamas. First fish of the day, our charter continued with Mangrove snapper, and Goliath grouper. Terrific day and two bucket list fish. Thank you Capt Eric! If you want a great fishing experience out of Islamorada, call Capt Eric! You will not be disappointed!

My son and I had a great day. Eric put us on fish and we did just fine. We were able to target different types of fish throughout the day. I highly recommend SLO FLO Charter!

Eric was an awesome guide. Very knowledgeable of the water and and wildlife in the area. Even with the wind conditions he put us in front of tons of fish and ran into a school of 200+ black drum moving out of a flat. I will be using him every trip to the Keys.

Eric was good, very knowledgeable and we were able to spot fish in the flats

We had the most incredible day backcountry fishing you Captain Eric Rodriguez. He is a gentle soul with immense knowledge of the backcountry ecosystem. He was the perfect captain and tour guide. We did a half day afternoon tour and caught so many fish, it was incredible. Captain Rodriguez patiently guided my 14-year-old son and encouraged him along all the while helping him tie knots, hook the bait and take photo ops of the fish he caught. It was one of the most memorable mother-son experiences we have had, thanks to Captain Rodriguez. He also cleaned up the fish we caught so we could bring the filets to local restaurants in the Keys for cooking. He made great recommendations of the best places to go to cook the fish. All in all, we would highly recommend Captain Rodriguez to anyone looking for a magical experience doing backcountry fishing.

Eric was fantastic. He is knows the water and made the right adjustments to put us on fish. We had a great day. My son caught Goliath Grouper, Snook, Redfish and Snapper.

Got it done, Bone fish off the bucket list!

Beautiful waters. Great boat ride. Great guide. Sight fishing for tarpon was a new experience. Saw many. hooked up twice. Learned how to Bow. Waiting for my video of the best hook up!

I have fished the Keys for 40 years and in a variety of tournaments. Fished the 2024 Swamp Guides Ball with Eric and I have to say that my wife I were very impressed. Very patient, very courteous, punctual but his knowledge of Florida Bay and fish activity was the best I have seen to date. Highly recommended.

Captain Eric was awesome to fish with. He was able to present us with many opportunities on multiple species, even in mediocre conditions. Not to mention he was great conversation along the way! On top of that his boat was perfect for zipping around the Everglades from spot to spot. Without a doubt I will be booking all future back country fishing trips with Captain Eric. Can't wait until next time!

Very nice experience for my son and myself! Eric was very patient and knowledgeable. Very good catch (snappers and groopers) in the first hours of the morning.

Eric is an exceptional captain! We have taken charters with him for 7+ years and have always had stellar days! Eric knows the fishery extremely well and can always find fish! We have had many days with countless snook, redfish, tarpon, snapper, and permit. We have been on charters across the globe and Eric is a good as it gets. Honored to call Eric a friend!

Eric is a great captain. Knows the best spots and is always great at helping direct you on techniques. Would recommend him all day. Will use him again in future trips to the keys.

We had a great day out with Eric on Tuesday 10-31-23. Eric is a great captain and knows where the fish are! We started the morning netting our own bait fish and we were into fish all morning long, non stop action! Great fishing experience. Highly recommended. We will be back again soon.

Amazing morning with Capt. Eric Jumped a number of Tarpon, landed two. Can't wait to get out there again.

My daughter an I had a great day with captain Eric. We caught a variety of fish from Goliath Gruper, Snook, Jack Crevale, Barracuda, which we released, and Red Snapper that Eric filleted for us. He was very knowledgeable of the Everglades and you know by talking with him how respectful he is of the environment. I would recommend him and I am definitely going to book another trip with him as soon as I can.

Eric was great on our 6 hour charter. We had another trip booked and our captain had to cancel less than a week before we arrived. We were introduced to Eric and he was very honest and open about the types of fishing and what our best chances were to catch fish. He has a long history and knowledge of the area he guides in and knows what the fish are doing. He has plenty of spots he can and will visit to maximize your time on the water. Easy to communicate with and very responsive to texts/calls, even when he's on the water.
