Backwater Tarpon & Snook Fishing 

Me and my 13 year old son did the 4 hour night time charter. Captain Manny reached out beforehand to make sure I didn't have any questions on my end. Capt Manny was there and ready to go when we pulled up. As the night proceeded, it was soon evident that Capt Manny treated this as something that is more than a job to him, he has a true passion for this and an amazng level of knowledge that is extremely rare to see these days. He went above and beyond to make me and my son feel welcomed and comfortable. In my opinon, that already made the experience well worth it even if the fish wouldn't have been cooperating. Extremely grateful we had an amazing captain for the night. He answered every question and provided us with a lot of knowledge. As far as the fishing itself .. first 15 - 20 minutes not much was happening, then the fish woke up. Within an hour or two we were able to reel in our fifth Tarpon fish out of six bites. With every fish, Capt Manny would help and provide instructions to help us get the fish to the boat once it was hooked. My son and I were already having a great time beyond our expectations... and then it happened. The tip of the rod quickly snapped down and as Capt Manny was passing the rod to my son, a monster of a Tarpon thrashed and jumped a foot out of the water and violenly splashed back down. After a decent period of fighting and with Capt Manny's help every step of the way, my son was able to get the monster Tarpon to the side of the boat. This was by far the biggest fish I had every laid eyes on and had to have been in the 100 - 120 lb range. I was extremely grateful my son was able to experience that. It is a memory I am sure he will be passing to his children. Huge thank you to Capt Manny for the once in a lifetime experience. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

This trip was our first time fshing for Tarpon. We have plenty of experience fishing fresh water in Minnesota, but not much for large fighting fish. We ran an hour late and our Captain was fast to respond to my text. Capt. Manne waited patiently and welcomed us with no concern for our late arrival. We had a slow start and didn't start seeing some action until about 11:30am. Our tour should have ended at 12:00pm. Both my husband and I ended up catching 2 Tarpon EACH!!! We had a fantastic time, and have many pictures to keep to share!!! The music play list was great and set the mood for a good time. Thank you Capt. Manne so much for showing us a great time and coaching me so I could land 2 nice size Tarpon!!! We would highly recommend this fishing outfitter to put you on the fish!!!

Manny is an excellent guide! He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to communicate with. The downtime between action was filled with peasant conversations both fishing related and things to do locally. I very much look forward to coming back to the area and spending more time fishing with Manny. The outfitter was very responsive and clear with details and made everything exceptionally convenient. All around 10/10 !

From start to finish this trip was top notch. I turned the big 50 this week and booked this trip as a bucket list item. Alex (guide) was incredible. I am just a dumb Oklahoma bass fisherman and didn’t realize how technical Tarpon fishing is. Alex gave me a lesson and of course fish 1 jumped and i pulled. gone. Fish 2 jumped, I bowed got it to the boat. I though it was done. Of course it wasnt. Bad angle. gone. Alex again coached me. Fish 3 bucket list complete!!! My advice go with these guys. they are the best. Loved my trip.

what an amazing experience! starting off with them suggesting differnt times becase of the luck they have had to ensure a great time for us the day before! The day of the adventure started off as a slow, no biting day, ended up being the catch of my lifetime! Mateo guided me through the whole experience of catching the Tarpoon! It was such a thrill, watching it fight and feeling my rush, making sure it didnt let go as it got tired! Mateo helped guide me through it all and made this an experience i will never forget! thank you!

We started slow but kept at it. Captain Mateo was relentless and kept pushing trying to put us on fish. In the last 30 minutes we hooked a good size tarpon but it broke off the line. It was a heart break for me but my son got the chace to feel the power of the fight against that fish and has the eternal memory of watching that tarpon explosion when it hit and the fight of a lifetime. Rest assured we will be back to catch the Silver King and full fill my fishing bucket list!

Captain Tommy took us into the lagoons and located some Tarpon. we hunted some big fish early without a lot of action then moved to another spot and my son reeled in several Tarpon. Tommy was very knowledgable and a great captain.

the captain was very good to me he also showed me step by step gave me little extra time cause they weren’t biting as much so I appreciate for everything welcome recommendation

The tides weren’t ideal for the only time we had to fish so the fishing was slow, but captain Alex was great and very knowledgeable, and tried his absolute hardest to get us into the fish. Gives me a good excuse to come back to PR to get my tarpon!

Javier was our Captain and he never stopped working. He was on the fish and made sure we had a great time. We caught a snapper, a barracuda and 4 Tarpon!
