About Your Trip

Are you ready to do battle with a fish that will test your strength, stamina, and fishing skills? If you can handle the challenge, the “Silver King” is the fish for you. It's no secret that Tarpon have become one of the most sought-after gamefish in Florida, and for good reason! These fish are as tough as they are beautiful, and are a worthy opponent for any angler.

In the spring and summer, these fish move up and down the coast, hunting for food. Tides, weather, and the phases of the moon play essential roles in Tarpon behavior, but these kings of the inshore are always hungry, biting on both live and artificial bait. Get out there and test yourself against these prime gamefish with Captain Taylor, an experienced Tarpon fisherman and great guide to this area.

On the day of the trip, you'll set out aboard Captain Taylor's 24' Century center console—the perfect boat for fishing the Florida inshore. It's equipped with everything you could possibly need for a successful and comfortable trip, including GPS, Fishfinder, Live Bait Well, and an Ice Box if you happen to catch some table fish. Tarpon are photo-only—please do your part to keep the population of these iconic fish healthy by leaving them in the water!

Captain Taylor will provide everything you need for this trip, including top-of-the-line rods, reels, bait, and tackle, so that all you have to do is cast out, hook up, and then hold on for the fight of your life! To maximize your time on the water, make sure to bring proper clothing, a hat, sunscreen, and a camera! Any trip with Captain Taylor is sure to be picture-worthy, and Tarpon are a particularly photogenic fish.

We had the opportunity to take our four kids on their first fishing charter while visiting Sarasota. We booked with Ultimate Fishing Adventures and Henry was our guide. I don’t think we could have asked for a better experience. Henry was amazing with the kids. He put them on fish right away and our son landed a snook on the first cast. Henry even got us up close to some manatees which was so cool....
