You will enjoy some of the most exciting fishing available near Tarpon Springs, Florida. Their trips are targeted for the big Tarpon that inhabit our shoreline as well as Redfish, Snook, Trout, Cobia, Grouper, etc. There are other species of fish that are worth a cast. Ladyfish (we call them the poor mans Tarpon) run up to 7 pounds and give you a thrill on a fly rod or light tackle. Jacks (in the permit family), never seem to quit and will test your fishing skills to the max. We have caught them up to 20lbs.
If you are after the BIG Florida Bass, we can venture onto Lake Tarpon; a 2500-acre lake rated one of the top ten trophy lakes in the state of Florida by the Fish and Game Commission. Our trips have produced bass over 10 lbs on many occasions.
Nestled in the small, quaint town of Tarpon Springs, away from the crowds, this unique setting is close enough for the non-angling spouse to enjoy a wide range of activities.
