The bite is on fire in charlotte harbor, the river tarpon have moved down into the harbor and the gulf fish have moved in too. Snook are done spawning and chewing hard! Redfish will be schooling up soon, the opportunities are endless

As we approach late fall we will enter what is my favorite time to target tarpon with a fly rod, big and small!

    Captain Michael was great. Very friendly and patient with my wife and son, who both have very little fishing experience. My 11 yr old son said he was like fishing with an uncle. He kept us on fish all day, overall it was a great trip and I would recommend it for anyone.

    Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

    Leighton was an absolutely fantastic guide, and great person. He was super knowledgeable, resourceful, and patient on our trip. He helped us get on some of our first saltwater fish on the fly, and made it an enjoyable time while doing so! I would 100% book another trip with Leighton.
