Captain put us in front of a lot of Tarpon but felt like the rigs and the bait were not the best for the tarpon. Captain was unprepared and we felt inexperienced when going after Tarpon. He is very nice and would be very good with kids. Asked captain the day before to be prepared to go shark fishing if we were unable to get tarpon. Mid-way through the trip, after we were unable to get any tarpon to bite our short selection of baits, we asked if we could go shark fishing and captain said he did not have the bait to catch shark. He is very nice and very talkative and has a bright future but if one is interested in catching tarpon in Captiva then it might be best to go with a captain with far more than 3 years on the water. Charged full price ($900) after not catching any fish and cutting our day short 3 full hours. Didn’t leave the best taste in our mouths, but it’s fishing. We will be back, but we will go with another captain in the area with more experience.

Hey Seth, I’m sorry that you weren’t able to catch a tarpon on your trip yesterday. I can assure you that the rigs and bait that I provided have been catching tarpon for other customers recently, but as you know, Tarpon are a difficult species to catch. You mentioned that I did not have the bait to catch shark, however the only reason we did not have bait to catch shark when you asked about it later in the day is because we used it while catching two sharks earlier in the morning. After starting the day an hour early, we did cut your trip short by two hours at your request. You were refunded for the hours not fished. I appreciate that you booked two trips with me this week and I am glad that you enjoyed yourself at least one of the days.
