    Trip: Key West Tarpon Hunt

  • ★★★★★
    I had a great day in the Lower Keys with Capt. Robert. It was my first time salt-water fly fishing. He gave me lots of good advice. The fishing was excellent — and his knowledge of the area and technique is extensive. As a lady fisher, I appreciate some guidance on how to and Robert gave enough without over doing it. We landed five bonefish on a half day’s trip — and several were big! All gave a good fight. I missed several permit by being not fast on the draw but really stoked to have had a shot. Loved it!! I am already planning my next trip.
