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.

Worked hard to get us on fish in tough conditions. Very knowlegable and personable. Caught some fish and had a nice stop at Marvin Key.

That's Fishing
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.

Tarpon Surprise
Half Day Fishing Trip on January 14, 20262 adults
We had an awesome time! Got into some cuda on the flats and then Tarpon showed up which was a surprise for January. Capt Cam was already prepped with a rod rigged for them and we hooked up with a great fish.
