This trip was all about getting my 16 year old son his first Tarpon. 2-3 hours in we had hooked 3 and he brought a 70-80lber in. Unbelievable experience, wouldnt trade it for anything. Captain is excellent!

The weather conditions for the day we had booked was not ideal and sometimes the fish don’t corporate. That said we still had a great time and still caught a ok amount of fish just not the target fish we was after. Captain was great and had an awesome time on the water.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience. While the weather is unpredictable and the fish cooperation is out of our control, we are glad to hear you still had a great time on the water and appreciated the extra effort we put in. We enjoyed having you and your son out, and we were happy to offer a SIGNIFICANT discount and extra time to help make the most of the day under these less than ideal conditions. We’re always striving to give our guests the best possible experience... More
