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 booked a half day with our roofing company. Was a great way to say thanks for all their hard work. We had a great experience on the boat. Captain wayne was very patient with a group that obviously knew very little about fishing. He put us on the fish. We will repeat this trip for sure.

Far exceeded are expectations…we were on fish as soon as we arrived at every location. Caught our snapper limit and hour and thirty into our 4 hour trip. Also caught 6 sea trout and caught and released many more to include Spanish Mackeral and Blues. Captain Gatling was a great host.

Thanks for the nice review. I had a pleasant and even relaxing morning fishing with you two. Such a great couple to spend time with. I’m not sure we solved all the problems of the world but we worked on it. I hope you enjoyed the fish dinner. Come see me again sometime.

Wow. What a great trip. Wayne was a fantastic guy to go out with. He is “on it” the minute you leave the dock! This is definitely your best choice for a great experience that your mission is to catch fish. No BS, just get right after it. Would definitely recommend him 👍👍
