    tarpon trip

    3/4 Day Trip (AM) • 3 adults

    mother nature didnt cooperate - cold front combined with strong winds made it a very tough day on the water. We were still able to jump some tarpon before the weather got super rough. Captain Keith didnt give up and took us to another spot to try and get on them despite the brutal weather.

    This is your charter Captain!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    We were on some tarpon before the sun even came up, he kept us on the fish the whole time. Navigated through the crowd of boats like it was nothing. Drove us to the bathroom when needed, and got my PB 140 LB tarpon!

    Keith is a great captain and was awesome to fish with. He made my daughter feel very comfortable as she’s learning to fish and worked hard to find the bite. Great guy and guide
