Our Specialty

Chasing the Silver King

Tarpon fishing is the heart of this operation. Eric has spent 27 years learning where these fish stage along Southwest Florida's beaches, passes and backcountry — and how to get a bite when the water goes quiet. From spring migration through summer, hooking a hundred-pound fish that goes airborne on the first run is what people come back for.

Nearshore

Run the Gulf for grouper, snapper, kingfish and cobia. Bigger water, bigger pulls, and a cooler that comes home heavy.
