Big Tarpon

VERIFIED

We took a 2 hrs fishing trip with Capt Craig He knew exactly where to go and after fast 15 min boat ride we were on a big Tarpon splashing left and right. Both me and my wife had a Great time. Capt Craig was very profesional and very patient with us two newbies. Fish were very powerful and we had a hard time to bring one in. After several tries we landed on 60 lb Tarpon. It was a nice fight. Capt Craig is a USNavy Veteran and we support our troops! Thanks Captain Craig We will take those memories...
