Capt. Manne WAITED FOR US!!!

4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

This trip was our first time fshing for Tarpon. We have plenty of experience fishing fresh water in Minnesota, but not much for large fighting fish. We ran an hour late and our Captain was fast to respond to my text. Capt. Manne waited patiently and welcomed us with no concern for our late arrival. We had a slow start and didn't start seeing some action until about 11:30am. Our tour should have ended at 12:00pm. Both my husband and I ended up catching 2 Tarpon EACH!!! We had a fantastic time, and have many pictures to keep to share!!! The music play list was great and set the mood for a good time. Thank you Capt. Manne so much for showing us a great time and coaching me so I could land 2 nice size Tarpon!!! We would highly recommend this fishing outfitter to put you on the fish!!!

    Tarpon Bucket list…….check!!!

    6 Hour Trip (AM) • 1 adult

    From start to finish this trip was top notch. I turned the big 50 this week and booked this trip as a bucket list item. Alex (guide) was incredible. I am just a dumb Oklahoma bass fisherman and didn’t realize how technical Tarpon fishing is. Alex gave me a lesson and of course fish 1 jumped and i pulled. gone. Fish 2 jumped, I bowed got it to the boat. I though it was done. Of course it wasnt. Bad angle. gone. Alex again coached me. Fish 3 bucket list complete!!! My advice go with these guys. they are the best. Loved my trip.

    Worth the money

    2 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    we had a amazing trip Javier was amazing and even when it started to rain and the bite slowed down he made sure to get us some action and moved around trying to pinpoint the the tarpon we wish we went with the 4 hour trip instead of the 2hr trip once you get out there it’s hard to leave it’s so beautiful and to see big tarpon jumping all around you is such a cool experience had a great fight with a tarpon and was worth every penny

    mateo and our experience

    2 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    what an amazing experience! starting off with them suggesting differnt times becase of the luck they have had to ensure a great time for us the day before! The day of the adventure started off as a slow, no biting day, ended up being the catch of my lifetime! Mateo guided me through the whole experience of catching the Tarpoon! It was such a thrill, watching it fight and feeling my rush, making sure it didnt let go as it got tired! Mateo helped guide me through it all and made this an experience i will never forget! thank you!
