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 – Tarpon Fishing (AM)

Good trip, no luck keeping a tarpon the line but had good action. No frills kind of trip perfect for the serious angler who wants the fishing experience rather than an expensive boat ride with fishing tales

Thanks for the review Martin. I know the tarpon didn’t fully cooperate,but it was a pleasure fishing with you. Maybe sometime in the future.

Despite rough and choppy conditions, lots of sea grass floating around and a strong current, Captain Wayne managed to get us to spots where we pulled up lots of keepers! My family and I would book him again, very accommodating and understanding with regards to little ones (2 and 4 years old). My 4 yo son loved Capt. Wayne, because he got to reel in every fish that Capt. Wayne hooked

Kristina, The pleasure was all mine. Your children were great. Good parenting is always a beautiful thing to see. Especially in this day and age,and it is apparent that you guys are doing it right. I hope to see you on my boat again in the future.

We had a blast with Captain Wayne. After a few attempts he got us right on a honey hole where we were catching Mangrove Snapper! Not only was he awesome out on the water but he also recommended what we should do with our filets for dinner! I highly reccomend him!
