Book a TripTarpon
The Silver King
Tarpon are the crown jewel of Florida inshore fishing. These prehistoric giants can reach over 200 pounds and are known for their explosive jumps and powerful runs. We target tarpon in the 10,000 Islands and Everglades National Park year-round, with peak season running February through May. Our success rate is nearly 100% — and during peak season, if we don't hook a tarpon, your trip is FREE.
Redfish
Red Drum
Redfish are one of Florida's most popular inshore gamefish. Found in the backcountry grass flats, mangrove edges, and oyster bars, these hard-fighting fish are a blast on light tackle. We sight-fish for redfish in the shallow backcountry, offering an exciting visual experience as you watch the fish eat your bait.
Spotted Seatrout
Speckled Trout
Spotted seatrout are abundant in Florida's inshore waters and are a favorite target for anglers of all skill levels. They're found over grass flats and near structure, and they readily take both live bait and artificial lures. Seatrout are excellent table fare and make for a great family fishing trip.
Sharks
Bull, Blacktip & Nurse
Florida's waters are home to numerous shark species. Bull sharks, blacktip sharks, and nurse sharks are commonly encountered in the nearshore and inshore waters. Shark fishing provides an adrenaline-pumping experience and is available year-round. These powerful fish put up an incredible fight and make for unforgettable memories.
Grouper
Gag, Red & Black
Grouper are the most prized bottom fish in the Gulf of Mexico. Gag, red, and black grouper inhabit the offshore reefs and ledges. They're powerful fish that dive for structure when hooked, making them a challenging and rewarding target. Grouper are also considered some of the best eating fish in the Gulf.
Snapper
Red, Mangrove & Lane
Multiple snapper species inhabit Florida's waters from the nearshore reefs to the deep offshore structure. Red snapper are the most sought-after, while mangrove and lane snapper provide year-round action. All snapper species are excellent table fare and provide great sport on light to medium tackle.
