Go fishing with Tailhunter Outdoor Adventures and discover the prolific fishery that is Ormond Beach! With Captain John Tarr at the helm, you will test your hand in different fishing techniques and get a chance to catch a variety of inshore species.

Book a half day trip when you have a few hours to spend fishing and target Sheepshead, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, and more. On longer trips, you can expect all this and much more – Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, and the magnificent Tarpon. Of course, a lot depends on where you’ll be fishing, the time of the year, as well as your preferences.

Capt. John is also a bowfishing expert, so if you’d like to try something different, this is your opportunity. He offers bowfishing trips where you will be wading to get to the best Tilapia fishing spots.

All the fishing gear, both for traditional and bowfishing, is provided. Do you love fly fishing? No problem, your captain will make sure to have quality Nautilus and Sage gear.

Your ride and a fishing platform for the day is a 17’ Gordon Boatworks flats boat with a 50 HP Tohatsu engine. Up to 3 anglers can fish here, and Capt. John will make sure that you have everything you need for a successful day on the water. He’ll also take care of the fishing license for everyone on board.

Your kids are welcome to join you on your trip, and the captain will have life jackets for everyone. Bring some sunscreen, drinks, snacks, and food on longer trips. After that, you’re ready to fish to your heart’s content with Tailhunter Outdoor Adventures!

Fishing has always been a part of my life. From the age of 3, when I caught my first Largemouth Bass in Arkansas, the water and fishing is where I wanted to spend the majority of my time. When I moved to Florida in 1983, my grandfather took me under his wing and introduced me to saltwater fishing on the flats. It didn't take long before I knew I had discovered my new passion in life. I was blessed to get a boat at the age of 9 and to live in an area and time when I could explore and fish on my own. It may have only been a 14' skiff, but I felt like a world explorer. I finally had the opportunity to turn my passion into my job. I love sharing my experience, expertise, and love of the outdoors with others. For me, there is nothing better than watching someone's tension melt away as we push away from the dock and head out to the adventure that awaits. Whether the fish cooperate or not, the friendships and memories make this job the best in the world! Beginner or expert, I'm here.
