We had a great time! My son and I each caught a tarpon and missed a few others. We had some chances at bonefish but just couldn’t connect. We also each hooked a shark which was fun. The captain had a nice boat and gear and knew what he was doing. I would definitely recommend him.
Thank you for the great review! I really enjoyed fishing with yall today. Wish those bones wouldn't have been so spooky!!!
My best friend and i went out with Cap Cam recently for some flat fishing. He was able to find some Tarpon and Barracuda in some less than ideal conditions. Cam was great - professional and very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. We will definitely look to go out with him again in the future.
Thank you for the review Jim. I enjoyed fishing with yall and look forward to the next time out on the flats!
What a joy to be out on the water with Captain Cam! He's everything you want in a guide: knowledgable, patient, and good company. I recommend him to anyone considering booking a flats guide.
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.
Congrats on your first tarpon! Had a blast fishing with yall.
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.

Your captain
Born and raised in GA, I have had a fishing rod in hand since I was around 3 years old. I spent most of my time through highschool and college fishing lakes and rivers in Georgia and nearby states but I would always make at least one trip a year down to the salt waters of Florida. After college I went out west and bounced around to different jobs and states until I decided that I wanted to give guiding a shot. I headed up to Alaska and cut my teeth guiding from drift boats on the Kenai river. Between season I came down to the Florida Keys (to thaw out) and fell in love with the place and the complex puzzle that this fishery presents. After working at a local tackle shop and doing a little deck handing on the side, I got my captains license and started Held Fast Charters. I am truly blessed and living my dream!
