Went out with Robert for a 4 hour trip targeting speckled trout. He was extremely knowledgeable of the area and knew exactly what to do throughout the whole day to keep us on the fish almost the entire time. Aside from the fishing we also just had a great time in general on the boat through the whole trip. We will be booking again on our future trips to Tarpon for a deep water excursion.

Although it was a slow day of fishing Captain Robbie worked his butt off to find us some speckled trout to eat and lady fish for fun. I highly recommend Captain Robbie to anyone who wants a guide with local knowledge of the area and knows where the best fishing spots are!

We really enjoyed our trip with Capt. Robert. The boat was well maintained and the rods were smooth.

We really enjoyed our trip with Capt. Robert. The boat was well maintained and the rods were smooth. He was a pleasure to spend the day with and I would have no hesitation to recommend him to anyone looking for a guide. He was friendly, helpful, patient and knowledgeable about the local area and the how's and where's to put fish in the boat. My wife caught her pb trout on this trip and I almost broke mine. He started as our Captain and finished as our friend. When we come back down, there is no need to look for another Capt., we already found the best.
