These waters are known for Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Bonefish, Tripletail, Cobia, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Black Drum, Goliath Grouper, Spotted Seatrout, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

Captain Steve accomodating and knowledgeable
4 Hour Trip on July 18, 20264 adults

We fished out of Flamingo Marina in Everlglades National Park amd it did not disappoint. Even though our day was not the best ckndjtions for fishing Captain Steve asked us what we wanted to focus on and tried hia hardest to acheive it. in the end we had much success. We caught an array of sharks from Black Tip, Lemon and Bull. We caught Snook, Snapper, Catfish and large Tarpon on the line several times before losikg them unfortunately. Saw Dolphin, Manatee and Saltwater Crocodile during iur trip. Overall a great trip. Captain Steve was not one to watch the clock, but more about our experience. Definitely recommend.

Reported catch:
Snook
Tarpon

Thanks, Dan! Hooking into Black Tips, Lemons, Bulls, and Snooks makes for an unforgettable day in the Park. You guys had multiple hookups with big tarpons, but unfortunately, they just didn’t want to stay on the line—we'll get 'em to the boat next time! You guys were a blast to host, and I’m glad I could show you what Tropical Tides is all about. See you guys next time!" Best regards Captain Steve

Outstanding!
6 Hour Trip on April 1, 20263 adults1 child

We couldn’t have asked for a better charter than Captain Steve! Fishing conditions were not ideal, nobody can control the weather. But Steve worked his butt off and was great with the kids. We caught some fish, explored the glades, saw a lot of crocodiles, a manatee, a large group of dolphins gave us an up close and personal show, and we caught 2 big a$$ sharks! The whole family LOVED our day with Captain Steve!!

Response from Captain

Thank you for taking the time to share your fantastic experience with me! im delighted to hear that you couldn’t have asked for a better charter. It’s wonderful to know that i made a positive impact, especially with the kids. Catching fish and two big sharks, as well as observing crocodiles, manatees, and dolphins, is always an incredible adventure! It’s experiences like these that create lasting family memories, and I'm so glad your whole family enjoyed the day. I appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable outing with me in the future! Best regards, Captain Steve Tropical Tides Fishing Charters

Great time on the water
4 Hour Trip on March 27, 20264 adults

We had a great time fishing! We had a couple young kids with us and Steve went out of his way to accommodate everyone on board. The fishing was a bit slow at first, but Steve worked hard to get us onto fish. By the end of the trip we caught a range of fish, saw a bunch of wildlife, and got to try a number of fishing spots and styles. highly recommend!

Reported catch:
Redfish

Perfect day on the water
4 Hour Trip on April 6, 20264 adults

Our family had a great experience fishing with Steve! He was very knowledgeable about the Everglades and area wildlife and he ensured that we caught several different species of fish. Steve was very patient and thoughtful- teaching my kids and answering all their questions. We would highly recommend Tropical Tides!
