Hi. Yes my fish finder was working.. it was one of those fishing days and not catching days I tried my best plus the sudden change in weather had lots to do with it. Sometimes the fish just don’t bite. Especially when a cold front comes in..sorry about that . That day most captains had a bad fishing day.

When booking I specifically said that we mostly wanted to fish for tarpon but also bonefish and permit. The only bait on the boat was crabs for bonefish and permit. When I asked the captain about going after tarpon, he said they were mostly caught at night. This was never mentioned during booking. Due to the email only format of this I was unable to speak directly with anyone. I like the fact that there is a website that promotes many fishing guides with reviews but if they don’t pay attention... More
