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.

We went on a morning trio and had a great time. Wayne made sure we caught fish and tried very hard to make sure we had fun. He was fun to talk to and really knew everything about fishing. I would Highly recommend talking a trip with him. He cleaned our fish and told us the best restaurants in town to get them cooked. Great trip!

Thanks for the kind words. It was a little bit of a challenging bite today,but as you can see Alice caught this beautiful red grouper on super light tackle. Hope to see you again next year.

Thanks for your 5 star review Joel. I’m sorry we didn’t catch a tarpon. But I hope the jacks were fun for you. And I’m sure Owen was more than with them. I hope I see you in the Chesapeake for some rock fishing.

Thanks for the great review Ron. It was a pleasure fishing with you and your brother. It was something to see watching you two guys Tag team that tarpon for over an hour. The jacks were pretty fun too.
