Tarpon fishing is on fire!

Apr 28, 2021 Marathon

We are hooking 3 to 5 tarpon every trip. There is nothing like the sight of these monster fish jumping 6 to 8 feet in the air.

I booked this trip for my family, 8 of us, some had been striper fishing before, some have not. This trip was awesome, we all caught lots of fish and Wayne and Drew are the best, both super helpful. We will definitely book with them again. :-)

Wayne and Drew were phenomenal and went above and beyond to ensure our party of 9 had a great experience. Each person caught multiple fish. They even assisted us in having a local restaurant cook our catch 3 ways! Best and freshest fish we ever had!

Great trip with our two kids. Caught a ton of snapper, over 20 keepers. Captain filleted them for us and we went across the street to Burdines Waterfront restaurant at the captains recommendation. They cooked the snapper three different ways and we enjoyed with the incredible fresh cut French fries. A highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend this fishing charter!
