Fished for tarpon in the pass with John and Mark. Not only did they put us on fish, they were great guys to be around. Easy communication, pickup, and even spent a little bit of extra time on the back end of the trip because they didn’t want to leave while we were in the middle of fish. Great experience and would recommend for anyone from serious anglers to a family.

April fishing trip

John and Mark were great all around! They picked us up on time, traveled 15 minutes and we were catching fish as soon as we put our bait in the water! They were great with helping and teaching my kids about how to fish, what to look for to catch fish and was always attentive when they were having troubles. Would highly recommend John and Mark for your next fishing experience!

Both of my boys caught inshore slams. This was our second trip with Captain Kelso. He delivered again.

Cpt John and Mark definitely put in the work to find us some good fishing! Were great and patient with my 11, 8, and 4 year old. Fishing was a little slow but fishing is fishing.
