The fishing draws people here, but the setting is part of the experience. Boca Grande Pass, the harbor and the coast give us different water to work as tides and fish movement change. We make a fishing plan for the day, then adjust to what we find.
I have guided full time since 1998. Whether you have dreamed about your first tarpon or return each season, tell me what you have in mind. We can talk through the dates, trip length and experience level of the people coming with you.
Bring your crew
My private charters accommodate up to four anglers. The published rate covers one to three people; a fourth is an additional $200. All tackle and bait are supplied, along with an onboard cooler and ice.
Bring your food, drinks, sun protection and a camera. If you bring a cooler, keep it small and soft-sided or collapsible so it fits below deck. Meeting locations are arranged at designated docks and confirmed directly before the trip.
Use this gallery to explore the site, then contact me with your preferred dates. The fishing information page covers the practical details, while the rates page helps you compare your options.
