"If you want to catch fish, this is the guide for you! I've booked Capt. Sean year after year for Tarpon season and let me tell you, it's well worth the money! I remember looking around while fishing and no other boats were catching fish and we were hooked up on our 6th tarpon at that point!! 11/10 I'd recommend over and over again!"

Yes. Just know tarpon trips are pretty low action until we hook up, then it’s insanity. It’s not uncommon to go several hours in between hookups so some kids may get bored. Just know what you’re getting into and make a judgement on whether or not your kid will enjoy it. I’ve had young kids handle it very well on the boat and others not so much. You know your kids better than anyone. Your call.
Tarpon and sharks. Once in a while you get another species by surprise but 95% of it will be tarpon and sharks.
