   Everything you need ton bring in the fish is supplied. No extra charge for things like live bait or fuel surcharge. No worries about a fishing license because it is taken care of too. All you need is drinks (no glass) and a snack ...even the iced down coolers are provided. After coming in the crew will filet and bag the catch of the day.

Captain James 

  Born and raised in Tampa, Florida gives James a lifetime of experience on our waters! At the age of 10 years old he was already doing overnight trips and bringing in the big ones. By the age of 15 he was earning his wages on the water. A Captain at age 18 he set his course! He works hard to keep you on fish and will have you smiling the whole trip. Proud to call him son.

Captain Zack

   One of his favorite fish to chase down is the ever so powerful and awe striking Tarpon. Fishing many tournaments for this beast he is a proven winner and one of the best. Fishing these waters for over 20 years his book of numbers isnt lacking in any way.
