Although the captain did a decent job trolling over hundreds of tarpon, we failed to hook up one tarpon. Not sure if it was the bait, surf or what?? The captain didn’t have an explanation either.

Captain Chris was friendly, funny, and very informational. We reeled in a trophy sized tarpon. A fantastic experience!

Captain Chris was great. He showed up on time answered any questions my wife and I had before the trip. I caught my first shark and snook with him as our captain. He shared good stories and we had a great time.

Capt. Taylor is the reel deal. He put us on more fish within the first hour than I caught in all of 2021. Seriously; we got into schools of redfish that made Louisiana look like Kansas. It was a truly magical day of fishing for our family. ...Read More
