    $1,200
    On this trip we will target Huge Tarpon running off the coast of the Sanibel area and other inlets and bays depending on their movements. These trips are best for one or two guests since it is very hard to land and keep a jumping tarpon hooked. Most anglers need several attempts to land a fish so a six hour or longer trip is recommended. Our Captains and Guides are of the highest quality with decades of experience. We will coach you throughout the entire fight giving you a better chance of landing a fish.
