Half Day Trip (AM) on June 10, 20263 adults
We 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, 20232 adults
Had 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!

Capt Fernando was great
Half Day Trip (PM) on February 17, 20242 adults
I 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!!
