Tarpon and Snook Trip - 20’ SeaCraft

Disclaimer: I like to paint the full picture so if you’re not one for reading and all you need to hear is that this charter is the best choice, then here you go! Look no further, Fetched Up Charters is the one for you! Now to the juice… Capt. Leo took me ...Read More in and treated me as if I was his own mate while at the same time a student to his expertise. I’m emphasizing this because that type of cohesiveness between a captain and his mate, never mind a captain and his charter client (who he’s known for all of 10 minutes before leaving the dock!) is unheard of and something that will bring me back to Fetched Up Charters again and again. As an avid and lifelong fisherman, I have experienced many captains on boats of all sizes and I can tell you one thing. Capt. Leo has it dialed in. Don’t let the size of his boat fool you, with 2 rods off the kite and another 2-3 rods off the other side of the boat we were covering plenty of ground! It’s not the boat nor the rod that catches the fish, it’s the years of experience, trial and error, and if you’re a real angler, countless failures, that make someone a true fisherman. May 31, 2021, however, was no failure! While on a 3/4 day (6hr) afternoon charter, Capt. Leo carefully navigated myself and my (and she’ll kill me for saying this but) fishing novice girlfriend, through Haulover Inlet safely and smoothly, and after a 20 minute rip out to the fabled “numba’s” he had us both, lines tight, hooked up on some of the biggest blackfin tuna I’ve ever seen! All in all, we caught **hidden content**lb Tuna, (1) healthy Mahi Mahi, and oh yeah… an 80lb sailfish! My first sailfish! All I can say is what a day, a day that will go down in the books and that I hope to experience many many times again! Thank you Captain Leonardo for showing my girlfriend and I what South Florida fishing is all about and for giving both of us an experience we’ll never forget! If you made it this far, thanks for reading! Now stop overthinking and book the damn trip! You will not regret it! Stats: Kat —> 2 Tuna, 1 Mahi Mick —> 3 Tuna, 1 Sail Doesn’t matter the skill level, if you’re willing to listen Capt. Leo will teach you how to catch BIG fish!

Capt Lombera did a great job putting us on the fish. We started the morning drifting for Tarpon in Biscayne Bay. Which I had a distance release of one and brought a second in the 100 pound range to be leadered and released at boatside. We then went on to ...Read More liveline pilchards at the various bridges along the intercoastal waterway having good success with Jack Crevalle. The trip ended working the jetties and open water beaches of North Miami where we did well on a school of large Jacks with multiple hook ups and releases. The Captain knows his water and worked to put us on the fish, his boat was equipped with excellent tackle and for a smaller boat it gave a smooth and comfortable ride. I would highly recommend this charter and would be happy to book with the Fetch Up again.

Capt Leo is an awesome guy. Super nice, and very knowledgeable. He took my wife and I out on a tarpon trip last night for her birthday and our anniversary. We spent 5 min getting to our fishing location, and within another 5 min, we were hooked ...Read More into a 120+ lb tarpon. I mean, you can’t get any better than that. 5 tarpon caught total. Best was well over 150 lbs. Massive fish… Took about an hr to get to the boat We’re beat up from the trip and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended. Thanks Capt Leo.
