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 (PM)

Our experience with captain Wayne was wonderful. We went on a overcast day, after a cold front came through. We moved 6-7 times while fishing to stay on the bite. We caught a number of species and my wife snagged a sea turtle. It did get off, injuring free beside the boat. Wayne was very helpful, good bait and always had our hooks baited. I would recommend his service for any group. Thank you for your time and memorable experience. Gene H

Thanks for the nice review Gene. It was fun fishing with you guys. It definitely was a little challenging considering the weather we have been having,but we pulled it out. The sea turtle was a bit unusual I must admit. I hope to see you again sometime in the future.

Thanks for that great review Joey. You know what they say”every dog has his day.” I guess it was my turn. You also did a great job on those monsters. I will be looking forward to seeing you again.
