Florida Reels Tarpon - 95% Success 

My wife and I had an awesome tarpon fishing trip with Captain Christopher. He was diligent in helping to select the best day for our trip based on tidal patterns and it paid off big time. We started off on our first drift with each of us getting a nice bite but no fish. Soon after we hooked into the 175lb tarpon in the picture. Captain Christopher expertly navigated the boat while we reeled in this amazing fish. It was an amazing fight and a memory that will last forever. After catching this prize tarpon, my wife caught a nice tarpon in the 100lb range. Finally, I fought a third tarpon that eventually broke off the hook. It was truly an amazing experience. Captain Christopher gave us very clear directions for tarpon fishing and was attentive throughout out fishing trip. He knows the fishing grounds like the back of his hand and was able to insure that we had a memorable trip!

This was my first tarpon i caught with the help of Captain Chris Taylor. He put me on the fish.I highly recommend him.It was a great day on the water.Book your next trip with him and you will be glad you did...

My son and I had a blast on our first Tarpon trip with Captain Chris. He gave us a run down on how to use the gear and what to expect. Captain Chris was easy going and fun to chat with. The commands he called out were easy to follow to get the line to the appropriate depths. We had some bites , hooked a few , and landed a Tarpon! Would definitely recommend and book again.

Fishing live bait in deep water is not favored way of fishing but I had caught only juvenile tarpon on a fly rod and this was probably my only to land a large one. Captain Taylor worked very hard and longer than he was contracted for to finally get my first big one. He estimated it at 140 pounds. Going with him again tomorrow.

I booked with Capt Christopher because he was the only charter that booked trips outside of the 8 am to 4 pm window. The best Tarpon fishing in Boca Grande pass is highly correlated to the tides and not the 8 am to 4 pm times most other charters operate. While you can catch Tarpon any time of the day your odds are greatly improved if your fishing during their active feeding times and that is when having a knowledgeable guide comes into play and Capt Christopher is that guide. Having relocated last year to Charlotte Harbor Capt Christopher's freely shared his techniques so not only did we catch Tarpon I learned valuable tips which will greatly improve my fishing in the future. So if your a local looking to improve your skills or just here on vacation wanting catch that magnificent sportfish I would highly recommend booking with Capt Christopher

Captain Taylor executed what I would call a classic day on the water in Boca Grand catching tarpon. Picture perfect day from the conditions to the boat and gear and the highlight of the day; non-stop, adrenaline pumping tarpon fishing! Captain Taylor is a laid back guy with complete knowledge of the pass. You won't be disappointed. We are already locked in for next year.

This was my first time out in the Boca Grande Pass, and what a spectacular day it was. Not only was Captain Christopher knowledgeable about fishing the pass but he consistently placed us on top of the action. We hooked up with 5 tarpon throughout the trip and ended up bringing 3 to the boat. We look to forward to booking again with Captain Taylor!
