David ReynoldsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewHere fishy fishy!
Half Day Trip (AM) on October 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childStarted off a little slow. But, captain Abi put us on the fish. My 9 year old daughter and I got in 9 tarpon! Lost a half dozen or more. Definitely our fault. Had multiple other bites. Boat was amazing, captain was better! I would most definitely recommend this trip for anyone! Nothing quite like bowing to the king! Thanks again for the great fishing and unforgettable memories captain Abi

Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had an awesome experience fishing for tarpon through the saltwater canals. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and put us right on the fish. The scenery was beautiful, the equipment was great, and the whole trip was fun from start to finish. Highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a memorable fishing trip.

6 hr trip with Captain Miguel
Special 6 hour trip for David Reynolds on May 17, 2023 • 2 adultsHad a blast fish with Captain Miguel. Caught some really nice fish. First time tarpon fishing and learned quickly to bow to the king! Caught a few little snook, got to check the box on that specie also. The fight is awesome, watching the tarpon jump is impressive. Miguel was extremely knowledgeable and fun to fish with. I highly recommend using Captain Miguel if you want to catch fish and have a great time doing it. Next time in Puerto Rico, we will definitely fish with him again!
Chad Emery5.0VerifiedCapt Fernando was great
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 17, 2024 • 2 adultsI took my son on this trip for his 18th birthday. We didn’t catch a lot but as every fisherman and outdoorsman knows, it’s about the experience and not always about the harvest. Capt Fernando made the experience fantastic. My son landed 1 tarpon which made the entire trip! Thank you captain!!
Corey GentherRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWe got it done!
Half Day Trip (AM) on February 2, 2024 • 2 adultsHad a blast! Miguel put us on the fish and helped two Michigan boys have a successful Tarpon excursion!
Charles RobbinsRepeat angler4.7VerifiedTarpon are awesome
3/4 Day Trip on November 26, 2023 • 1 adultGreat trip, couldn’t recommend it more. Not a lot of time wasted running to and from the fishing areas you get to fish for your full 6 hours. Captain Fernando was excellent, very knowledgeable and accommodating.
Kameron GradertRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTrip With David
Half Day Trip (AM) on August 12, 2021 • 2 adultsHad a very good trip with David as the captain! He was kind and easy to talk to. We had a lot of good bites. We managed to get a good picture of my first catch. We ended up getting a tarpon almost twice the size and got it in the boat but weren’t able to get a picture after it flopped out of our hands! It was a fun fight getting him in! Thanks for the trip!
Pedro OrtizRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day Tarpon Fishing w Capt Clery
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 1, 2021 • 2 adultsCannot say enough of Captain Clery! Had a lot of bites. Clery was friendly, helpful on tips with handling the Silver King and made it an awesome trip. We both caught a tarpon and I caught this 110 pound plus monster. If you want a private charter and a great experience, go with this team. Well worth it. Thanks Clery for one of the best fishing experiences ever!!
