Catching a Tarpon has always been on our bucket list so we scheduled a two day trip with Capt. Jeff.  Not only did each of us get to catch a tarpon but we hooked up with more than 10 and got 5 to the boat.  I have been on many many fishing charters over the years with many captains and I have never had a captain that is so easy to get along with, knowledgable, and hard working as Capt. Jeff.  I would recommend this trip and particularly Captain Jeff to anyone looking to catch a big Tarpon!  See you next year Captain Jeff!

We landed tarpon a permit fish we had a wonderful time.the captain got the reel ready put the bait on and gave us wonderful information on how to catch these fish O and I fought the tarpon I landed for 35 minutes Thank you Captain Jeff your the best

We had a blast on our 1/2 day trip! Captain Jeff got us on some fun tarpon and we were able to get 4 to the boat. It was a great trip and we would definitely book again on a future trip to the keys!

I’ve always wanted to catch a large tarpon. In planning a trip to south FL with the family I wanted to include a fishing trip. Not being from there, I did some research about when and where to fish for them. My research led me to fishing the middle keys in May. After reading reviews I settled on captain Jeff through fishingbooker. He was great to deal with prior to the trip and setting up the time and meeting place. He sought to understand what I wanted from the trip. I wanted to catch a “Bucket list” tarpon, and I wanted to have my wife and kids to come along and fish. He made several suggestions, and he told me he would work hard to get me that fish and accommodate my request. Captain Jeff was a great guide. He was pleasant, kind to my family, helpful in explaining how to fish for tarpon and knowledgeable about the area and the fish we were targeting. We hooked 7 fish and boated 3 tarpon from 50-100 lbs. I caught my “bucket list” tarpon, and both of my kids caught one. Captain Jeff was great at maneuvering the boat and giving instructions throughout the 30min battle. After boating 3 nice fish, my last cast hooked a monster tarpon. The fight was on, and the massive fish went airborne once so we could see just how big he was. After a mere 10 minute battle the ferocious fighter wrapped my line around a piling snapping my line like a thread. What an exhilarating morning on the water. We only saw a couple of hookups on the other boats around us, but we were blessed to have so many hookups and to boat 3 of the fighting giants. Captain Jeff said he would work hard for us, and he did just that. I’m sure there are other guides out there that do a great job, but Captain Jeff will be my choice in the future. He certainly kept our lines “Tight” for most of the morning; I can’t recommend him high enough.

I wanted my wife to experience the thrill of hooking up on a Tarpon. We booked a half day morning trip with Captain Jeff Sellers of Tight Lines Charters. It was mid April…not prime for Tarpon, but Captain Jeff worked back and forth through the pylons of the Bahia Honda bridge; determined to put us on fish.  The cool thing was, he actually TAUGHT us how to catch them.  It was ALL HANDS ON. His boat is also equipped with a fighting chair, which was PERFECT for my wife.  There were about a dozen other boats under the bridge that morning and I’m proud to say that our Captain Jeff had the only Tarpon hookups that morning.  No other fishermen hooked a Tarponin in those four hours… Only my wife, Terri. We stayed eight days in the Keys.  That week and our Tarpon fishing trip with Jeff was an experience we will never forget. We could tell that he was having as much fun watching us fight the Tarpons as we were catching them!!!  Thanks so much,  Captain Jeff Sellers!  We could tell that he was having as much fun watching us fight the Tarpons as we were catching them!
