US Army Veteran, a chance to fish with a living legend Captain Mark Butler that just went public! 25 years experience fishing Apalachicola Bay!
Apalachicola has a fish with your name on it, so let Tripletail Charters help you catch it!
These waters are known for Tripletail, Tarpon, and more – with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! For these species, you’re likely to be using light tackle. Capt. Mark also offers fly fishing.
Families who love fishing together will be glad to know kids are always welcome.
You’ll be welcome aboard a 18’ Egret bay boat that holds up to 2 passengers. It has all the essentials. You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.
You can’t go wrong when you bring bottled water, sunglasses, and sunscreen. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, come aboard with Tripletail Charters and get hooked!

4 Hour Trip – Tarpon & Tripletail
We started the morning hunting tarpon and found them. Rolling all over the place and had one monster nearly jump in the boat. They were not hitting our bait though. Our son hooked into a monster black drum though. That was a fun catch. We then moved out for triple tail but only some juveniles were hanging out. This was 4th of July week and the fishing is crowded so others probably beat us to the triple tail spots. Overall, we had a great trip and an hour of good looks at tarpon. They are super picky, so it's pure luck getting one to bite. Our luck wasn't with us on this ride. Next time! Captain Mark will take care of you!

4 Hour Trip – Tarpon & Tripletail
Mark put us in the fish. My sons caught several each and had a blast. We had to pack up a little early to try and get around a storm so he kept us out longer than the agreed upon time to keep fishing once out of the storm. I would definitely recommend Mark if you want a fun time and enjoy catching fish!

4 Hour Trip – Tarpon & Tripletail
Tough day, tough weather and we knew it but just wanted to be out on the water and have my friend from Colorado try to catch a Tarpon. Captain worked so hard, we hooked up a lot but as always so did some sharks. Saw Rolling Tarpon all around the boat but we threw everything at them, no bite. Finally got to see some spinner sharks which I had never seen. Cant wait to fish again in July and catch my first Triple Tail, Highly recommend this charter! Awesome day!
