Elba M. MendezRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewWhat's better than a slot? An over slot!
Full Day Trip – Backwater on October 11, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childOur second trip with Tarpon Tamer, and they put us on fish again! Captain Haley and Tim had to grind this morning but was able to get us on big Red's and snook, and made sure to get us on a number of snapper to bring home. As always they were great with our son. Cannot overemphasize how much fun we have fish hunting with these pros.
Michael Mccarthy5.0Verifiedgreat day fishing
3/4 Day Trip – Offshore on July 6, 2026 • 4 adultsCapt. Phil helped is catch a bunch of fish including Grouper and Barracuda. He was great with the kids and such a pleasure to hang out with while fishing. We all enjoyed our time on the water. The trip is good for anyone who wants to catch large fish off shore. The boat was stocked with lots of cold water and had a cooler for food which was nice to have on a hot day. Definitely recommend this boat and crew.

Everytime I turned around, my wife was hooking up
Full Day Trip – Backwater on September 13, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe fish locally and found Captain Phil and First Mate Tim were off the charts fun. We caught a lot of fish and they put us on a lot of sea monsters that were perhaps too big to muscle in. If anyone thinks they could do better, sign up for this trip!!!
Kevin KegleyRepeat angler5.0Verifiedhad a great time Goliath Grouper caught
Half Day Trip (AM) – Backwater on July 29, 2026 • 4 adultsMy family had a great time with Captain Phil. My boys competed with who caught the biggest. they said a tie but i think the Goliath Grouper was the biggest.
