While no Captain can guarantee the fish will bite, I can guarantee no Captain will work harder to put you on the fish than Captain Phillip of Tarpon Tamer Fishing Charters. He called me before our scheduled trip and asked if we could push the trip back a day or so due to weather after a front stalled in our area. I feel like most captains would have just ran the trip as scheduled. Captain Phillip wanted to make sure my family had the best experience and best chance to catch fish. Captain Phillip... More

Capt. Phil helped is catch a bunch of fish including Grouper and Barracuda. He was great with the kids and such a pleasure to hang out with while fishing. We all enjoyed our time on the water. The trip is good for anyone who wants to catch large fish off shore. The boat was stocked with lots of cold water and had a cooler for food which was nice to have on a hot day. Definitely recommend this boat and crew.
