Amazing!
Half Day Fishing Trip on December 13, 20252 adults
A pleasure to be out on the flats for the first time. Several schools and Dozens of Tarpon. Hooked a Black tip and a 6ft+ Tiger came less than 5 feet from the boat. Highly recommend this charter.

Good Captain, Good Fishing
Half Day Fishing Trip on April 28, 20252 adults
We did a four hour trip in the morning for Tarpon, Bonefish, and anything else that would bite. Cam put us on a lot of Tarpon and we even got into some Permit. But, the most memorable for us was catching some whopper Barracuda. If you simply like catching fish that fight, the Barracuda on light tackle, for us, were a blast. Hint for the guys, if your wife says she wants to practice cast to see if she can cast farther, don’t let her have the damned rod. She’s sure to catch the biggest fish of the day, if you do.

Half Day Fishing Trip on May 5, 20252 adults
Captain Cam did his best to put us on the Tarpon but they just weren't in the mood today. First half, no luck so we were on the move to find them. Cam was determined and that's what counts on the tougher days. Next stop on another flat and there she was. I made the correct cast and she hit it but threw my artificial on the first jump. Better luck next time. Thanks Captain we still had a great time.

hooked my first tarpon on fly and was able to fight it for a good while before spitting the hook. My wife also really enjoyed catching the barracuda on the flats.
