Constantly catching fish!!
Half Day Trip – Tarpon (AM) on September 8, 20262 adults

Captain Steve was by far the most knowledgeable captain I’ve ever had. We started off by catching our bait, got about a dozen catfish, then headed out for some bigger fish. As soon as we got out to his spots, it was just constantly catching fish. I dont think we spent more than 5 minutes at any point on our 4 hour trip without having a reel buzzing. After catching a bunch of grouper, we moved over to a different spot to try to catch some fish that would be good to keep, had a bunch of trout bites, but I couldnt seem to land one, then wife caught a really nice Cobia. Captain cleaned it and sent us out to a bar that did a catch & cook and it was excellent!! Highly recommend Captain Steve and am definitely going to come back to Marco Island to book another trip with him!

I've been fishing and guiding for over 20 years. Fished all over the US and Canada. I also owned my own leader and lure business where I made 1000s of wooden baits. I live in Naples Florida and take people out everyday.
