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.

Half Day Trip – Backcountry (AM)

Wayne understood what we were looking for and what we were not looking for and made the trip a huge success for the kids. Wayne did a great job guiding my kids to catching some fish… got my daughter hooked for sure.

Thanks for the nice review Chad. Your kids were great. I’m glad they had a good time. Hope to see you again one day. Maybe on the Chesapeake this summer.

We had a great time, Captain Wayne put us fish quickly and had stories to boot. If the fish stop biting we moved to another and were reeling them in short order. I highly recommend scheduling a trip with Wayne. John.

Had a good morning fishing for snapper with Captain Wayne. Boat was well equipped, plenty of rods and bait. Captain Wayne has decades of experience guiding in the area, knows where the fish are, and is quick to move to a new spot when the fishing slows. Would highly recommend and plan on rebooking with him in the future, hopefully for tarpon!

Wayne took us to the fish! It was non stop fishing action the entire trip. He was patient and very helpful with my teenage sons and made the trip enjoyable for all of us. Wayne cleaned our catch and gave us a great recommendation on where to take our fish to be cooked for lunch. Highly recommend Wayne, you will not be disappointed! P.S. The fries were amazing :-)

It was a pleasure watching Noah and Nathon develop into fisherman right before my eyes. Hope to see you again next year.
