About Your Trip

Set out under the cover of darkness to hunt sea monsters with Captain Michael. Nighttime fishing is a whole other ballgame, where you need an experienced guide who knows the waters well. On this trip, Captain Michael will be taking you to fishing holes known only to him, where you will search for massive, high-flying Tarpon. You might also come up with giant Snook or Gag Grouper. This trip is a bucket list adventure to whack a trophy catch!
