About Your Trip

Get on the books for the 2025 TARPON SEASON! If it’s anything like the 24’ season it will be epic. Tarpon fishing off the beach is a unique experience with some big rewards!
Tarpon migrate along the Suncoast as the water temps get into the mid to upper 70s. These larger migratory fish can offer exciting days with ample opportunities at 100lb+ fish swim along our beaches. The best time of year for migratory tarpon is May through August. We use heavy spinning gear for lures or bait; or 11wt rods for fly fishing to target the Silver King! These trips are 4 to 8 hours long and require patience and good communication.

About the Captain:
Man, I love what I do! Being a guide, for me is an excuse to fish with new friends and give them the bow time they have been longing for. Sight fishing for Florida's top inshore species is an addiction and gets your blood pumping! It is similar to hunting where you have to pay close attention, read your surroundings while stalking these fish to take advantage of opportunities. Going after snook, Tarpon, and big Redfish are just a few of the targets you will see on each trip. Sight fishing the flats is a challenge with some big rewards and my clients absolutely love it!
I love the history of fishing here in Florida. I grew up watching Flip on the Walker's Cay Chronicles and José Wejebe, dreaming that one day I would have a chance to be a guide. I started guiding to bring that dream to life. I know I will never be Flip but hopefully I can do my part to continue growing the passion for this sport through my client's adventures. I hope to see you on the bow soon!

How did you get started guiding?

Sold my tackle / fly shop and decided to guide full time

What makes you different from other guides?

I only know how to fish one way. Thats how I fish when I am with my friends. So, I will treat you just like I do them. I will give you all the shots you can take, and I will give a little tough love and encouragement if needed. I don't watch the clock and do my best not to book two trips in one day. I like the flexibility of letting the charter develop as the day goes on. Sometimes we are on them, and no one is ready to go home after four hours. We also have challenging days for whatever reason, weather or pressure, and we might need a little more time to get to the perfect part of the tide. I am not going to talk your face off or try and solve the world's problems. I have one job and that is to put you on the fish. We will have some laughs and catch some fish!
