Bucket List Item Checked!

Tarpon Full Day (6hr) on June 2, 2026 • 3 adults

We all got to feel the tarpon fight! Not all boat captains are built equal. Clark made it happen. He knew when and where the fish were, and how to get the best odds of hooking them. Communication in advance was also excellent. Highly recommend and will use again personally for more fishing.

"Miserable day"... not!

Inshore Fishing Part Day (4hr) on April 8, 2026 • 2 adults

Capt Yanni called me the morning of our trip with Sam to give us an out. It was windy and it would be challenging. He said, it's gonna be "miserable." We rolled the dice, headed into the wind and the backcountry and came back with dinner. Sure enough it was not a typical day. But Sam worked hard to put us on fish. Great experience and great communication from both Yanni and Sam. Would re book in a heartbeat as these guys give a sh-t and it shows!

Top Shelf Guide Service

Tarpon Part Day (4hr) on May 8, 2026 • 4 adults

This is a client-oriented guide service.  They helped us choose the right time of day to fish for tarpon.  If we would have had more time, they would have helped us schedule the best days for the trip.  Roger is pleasant company and has years of local experience. .My family and I had a great fishing experience.

Great day; Mission Accomplished!

Tarpon Full Day (6hr) on July 18, 2025 • 2 adults

Set up with Yanni was very easy and his communication was great. We moved the day from Saturday to Friday based on his recommendation, which worked great for us. Captain Roger met us at the dock and we were off. This trip was for my 15yo son to catch a Tarpon and we hooked one! His second cast off the boat and boom! We attempted this 2 years ago in the keys and were not successful, but these guys in Boca Grande got it down! What a day!!

Success - Finally got that trophy tarpon!

Tarpon Full Day (6hr) on June 17, 2025 • 2 adults

We've travelled far and wide in search of a nice tarpon but to no avail - including Islamorada and Costa Rica.  Changed all that today with a real beauty - everything clicked - good boat, great captain, and finally a hungry tarpon.  We're already looking at dates for a return trip next year.  Well done, guys.
