  Battling Giants: A Tarpon Adventure to Remember

  Trophy Tarpon Charter (Half Day) - 4:00 PM on March 23, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Yesterday was nothing short of extraordinary out on the water with Captain David Cohen. He took us straight to one of the best spots for giant tarpon, and from the moment we arrived, you could feel something special was about to happen. Then it hit, hooking into a true prehistoric monster. The power of the tarpon was unreal, a relentless fight that tested every bit of strength and stamina. It was hard work from start to finish, the kind of battle you never forget. Thankfully, Dave was there every step of the way guiding, encouraging, and making sure we got it done. An unforgettable experience and a memory that will last a lifetime.

  Highly recommend - professional and successful

  Trophy Tarpon Charter (Half Day) - 4:00 PM on February 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  We had an incredible experience on our charter fishing trip today! Even though the morning started off pretty cold, our captain was extremely professional, respectful, and fully committed to making sure we had a great time. He went above and beyond to find a warmer spot for us to fish, and thanks to his knowledge and determination, he succeeded. Not only did we catch fish, but the most amazing part was that every single one was a different species! It made the trip even more exciting and memorable. You can really tell he knows the waters well and takes pride in giving his guests the best possible experience. We had so much fun from start to finish. As a bonus, he even saved a stranded pelican — but that’s a story he’ll have to tell you when you book with him! Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun, professional, and unforgettable fishing adventure. We’ll definitely be back!

  80 pound tarpon and a huge sand shark

  Trophy Tarpon Charter (Half Day) on June 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

  Captain David put us on the fish. They weren’t biting a whole lot today but we did get probably four strikes and got one of them right up to the boat. It was a huge 80 pound tarpon. And then we also got a almost 8 foot sand shark as well.

  Caught giant Tarpon

  Trophy Tarpon Charter (Extended) on June 2, 2026 • 2 adults

  My son and I had a great fishing trip with Capt. David. Caught a couple giant Tarpon. Highly recommend this trip if you want a memorable battle with giant fish without going to the deep sea.
