    (HALF DAY BACKCOUNTRY TRIP (PM) 4 HR)

    Best Trip Ever, actually.

    Best captain ive ever had on a charter. Very talkative, friendly, and easy to get along with. Incredibly beginner friendly and taught us everything we need to know. Before long we were on fish almost every single cast! Very professional and educated, I would recommend to everyone.

    Good day of fishing

    Was catching Baby Tarpon on a fly rod within minutes of the first spot. Was a great top water bite which made the trip action packed. Unfortunately didnt catch a bigger one but seen plenty of fish. My guide worked his butt off.

    Biggest redfish of my life!

    Caption did a great job. My wife and I went out today and our son and his friend both 12 years old so captain had his hands full to say the least. He did a great job not only putting us on fish but continuously waiting hooks , unhooking fish and getting lines out of trees.. he stayed patient with them and worked hard to make sure we all had a good time! My wife landed a monster redfish and lost a 60 pound tarpon at the boat!.. a memorable trip to say the least.

    Great trip catching fish on Topwater

    Captain Josh puts you on active fish & the spots you fish are very scenic. Saw tons of fish, manatees, and hooked plenty of Snook/Tarpon!

About Tarpon fishing

Size

Food Value
None
Game Quality
Excellent

Tarpon, the Silver King, is the ultimate inshore game fish. Anglers love its explosive runs and high jumps that test skills. Tarpon fishing promises heart-pounding action and unforgettable moments on the water.

Most trips focus on inshore fishing across bays, flats, and mangroves. Guides use live bait like Mullet, Pinfish, Crab, and Shrimp, or lures. Spinning and fly fishing work well when fish roll or cruise shallow. Cast ahead of the fish and move the bait naturally. When it jumps, lower the rod tip to keep the hook pinned.

Expect early starts, sight casting, and powerful fights that can last. Beginners and experts both enjoy this challenge with a patient captain. Wear polarized sunglasses to spot fish and protect your eyes. Bring sun protection, water, and a camera; pack light and secure items.

Many places practice catch and release for large Tarpon. Always check local fishing license, permit, season, and harvest rules. Regulations vary by area and change often, so confirm before you go.
