"My Anniversary"
"My wife and I enjoy fishing together so in November we decided to think outside the box and book a trip with Captain Patrick Rood for our anniversary. I am what you would consider a avid angler and have fished the Lagoon before where as My wife has never fished for or caught a redfish so this would be her first time. The professionalism we encountered with Captain Patrick was second to none. He took his time with my wife and taught her what she needed to know. With in minutes of the first stop We had fish, boat side and taking pictures in no time. In conversation I asked Captain Patrick how long he has fished the Lagoon and he replied his whole life. I would have to say that is true because it seemed as if we were fishing in his back yard. The knowledge of his equipment and local waters made for an easy and relaxing day on the water. We told the Captain that we were after quality not quantity and he definitely provided. We absolutely had the time of our lives! Pack a lunch and some sun glasses and make a day of it. 5 out of 5 stars from me and my wife." - Nicholas Family

“Been fishing all my Life"
"I have been a resident of central Florida and an avid fishermen for over 20 years. I have fished New Smyrna Beach and Mosquito Lagoon several times before but have had trouble locating and catching quality fish. I have never had fishing experiences like I have had with Capt. Patrick Rood and Spot N Tail Charters. Capt. Patrick displayed a wealth of knowledge about the sport, area and wildlife along with displaying great patience and skill in guiding me to the trophy redfish and trout we sought out to catch. I have been a customer of his business several times and I am yet to be remotely disappointed. I recommend him for anyone seeking the best redfish and trout fishing experience desired on the waters of east central FL. Thank you Capt. Patrick and Spot N Tail Charters for the many opportunities." - Bryan Maples

"My Dream"
"I've dreamed of catching Redfish out of the Mosquito Lagoon since I was a boy. My father and I would watch fishing shows on TV and say some day we're going to do that! One day I finally decided to follow through on my dream of fishing Mosquito lagoon and booked with Spot N Tail Charters. When I met Capt. Patrick at the ramp I knew right away he was the man for the job. We hired Capt. Pat for my fathers birthday and what a birthday it turned out to be. We had a BLAST!!! We enjoyed every minute from the boat ride to the Catching of several different species of fish that inhabit the lagoon. (Its not just called fishing when your with Capt. Pat). Thanks for a great time man! I'll be calling soon to setup the next one.”- Donnie Wollard

“ Mike and Mike"
Big Mike and I would like to thank you for a great day on the water. Seriously we've fished with "others" in many different places and nothing was better than today with you as our guide. You made the day very enjoyable and it's very easy to see that you are a true professional. You were so patient with us and shared your knowledge with us. You are a master at what you do!
Thanks again,
-Mike Cooper
“ Capt. Patrick with Spot N Tail Charters is the best "
I scheduled a trip as an anniversary present for my husband and I.We had an awesome day and caught several fish. To say the least he knows fishing the lagoon area like the back of his hand.I would definitely recommend a trip with him if you want someone who is going to put you on the fish !!

“Vacation Time”
"My family and I planned a trip to New Smyrna Beach for a vacation. My husband Jason is a die hard fisherman so of course we had to find a fishing guide for him. He has watched several TV shows on Mosquito Lagoon and the New Smyrna Beach area and really wanted to fish it. We booked with Capt Patrick Rood of Spot N Tail Charters and it turned out to be even better than we expected catching several trout and red fish on Mosquito Lagoon. Thanks Capt Patrick for a great experience we will see you again next year.”- Cynthia Myseck
