Be the first one on the Tarpon
Big Tarpon
We took a 2 hrs fishing trip with Capt Craig He knew exactly where to go and after fast 15 min boat ride we were on a big Tarpon splashing left and right. Both me and my wife had a Great time. Capt Craig was very profesional and very patient with us two newbies. Fish were very powerful and we had a hard time to bring one in. After several tries we landed on 60 lb Tarpon. It was a nice fight. Capt Craig is a USNavy Veteran and we support our troops! Thanks Captain Craig We will take those memories back home to New Jersey with us.

We had a quick 2 hour trip. Soon as we were anchored lines were in the water and we started catching some bait. We landed 1 Goliath grouper during the trip. A great experience and would book it again.
