July fishing trip

3/4 Day Trip – Tarpon Fishingon July 6, 2022

Joe and Kayden are exceptional in every way possible. The quality of the equipment they used, including their high-quality rods and reels, was simply outstanding. What stood out most was their remarkable ability to find fish without fail, which made the trip an unforgettable experience.

Excellent trip. Captain Kayden was professional and knew where to fish, and also very good with the kids (8 and 12), friendly, encouraging and fun! Gave us a lot of good information. Looking forward to a potential future tarpon fishing charter in early summer!
