Great experience! We got a chance to get a small tarpon and it was a lot of fun! Capt. Tommy was very knowledgeable of the area and he did everything possible to get “the big one”. During the last minutes of our tour, he took us for snook fishing and we had a lot of fun getting some little ones!!! My son and I were very happy with our trip. 😊👍

Took my two grandboys ages 14 and 19 on this trip. Each brought in tarpon, both caught a 50+ pounder that got away (one after a 40 minute fight!), plus numerous "hits". Captain Tommy was an outstanding guide and teacher. A good time was had by all!

Would definitely recommend. Captain was great and we caught several fish. 10/10 experience. Captain was very knowledgeable, knew exactly where to go and gave lots of insight on local fishing and local place to go and eat, very friendly.

Great guide. Very knowledgeable. Definitely put me on fish. If you want to throw flys at groups of tarpon, this is the spot and the company to go with.

Excellent day with Captain Miguel. Personable guide, hooked into several Tarpon, had a great time. The addiction is real, we will be back.

This is a super fun trip and the fishery is insanely good for tarpon on the fly. I went out with Tommy and he’s a great guide—super knowledgeable, easy going, and puts you on fish. We landed a mega and the photo says it all. Will 100 percent book again.

Tommy took us out and despite the wind and rain he found us some lee where we could throw a fly. Saw about 50 and hooked and landed two. Could not ask for a better guide to spend time with-put us on fish, was super informative about the local fishery and area. Funny, easy going and really enjoyable to be in a small boat with! As guides at home, we really appreciate it when we find such an ethical, responsible and enjoyable guide when we travel. Would give him 10 stars if we could. Would definitely book with him again.

I was able to get in on a super last second trip. Our captain, Cody, was great. Knew his stuff, lots of fun, super encouraging and helpful. I was lucky to hook into two giants (both around 100 lbs.). Lost the first after a 30+ minute fight. The second one was another great fight. Cody was on top of things and helped us land an incredible fish. Highly recommend.
