    The prized game fish Tarpon starts to make its yearly migration track up the coast to the area in the springtime where it will spawn through the mid to late spring and slowly leave the area as you get closer to the summer months. Tarpon ranges from 80 to 200 pounds and is pound for pound a strong prized game fish with acrobatic jumps and long exhausting fights. The trip is catch and release only.

Captain Scott has been fishing his entire life.

He's lived here in South West Florida for 30 years and knows the area very well, and he'll go out of his way to ensure that his clients' needs are taken care of. Captain Scott puts the extra effort every day in ensuring his boat and equipment are well maintained and remain clean and safe for his customers. The captain is personable and enjoys chatting with his guests. He appreciates the time you take to consider his charter and invites you to book a trip and join him on the water.
