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 (PM)

Captain did a great job getting us on fish with non ideal conditions. He found us places that we could find fish and enjoyed the trip. It was a last minute booking and the captain worked with us to ensure we were able to go!

I’m glad you guys had a good time. I hope the trout and mangrove snappers were good.

Captain Wayne put us on the fish immediately! Lots of action. Five tarpons crashed the baits and gave us a great show. One big one hooked up but broke off. Even though we didn’t catch on this particular day, we’d definitely fish with Wayne again!! Highly recommend this trip!

Thanks for the nice review Stacy. It was my pleasure fishing with you and Randy. I’m looking forward to seeing the two of you again soon. We WILL got you a tarpon sooner or later.

Captain Wayne took myself and my 3 boys fishing yesterday. The boys ages are 7, 10 and 12. We caught around 60 fish! A few sharks, lots of snapper, barracuda, trout, grouper etc. The boys had an amazing time and Captain Wayne was a true pro. Great experience. I highly recommend him!

Thanks for the nice review Terry. It was a lot of fun putting you and your boys on the fish. I can always tell that everyone is having a good time when they are worn out when it is time to go home. I don’t know who was worn out more,them or me.
