Clients rave about their time with Captain Robert.

While a few permits slipped away, the excitement of the chase left a lasting impression, inspiring plans for future trips.
Another group praised Robert for an action-packed day that included hooking an 80-pound Tarpon and several other strikes, followed by catching juvenile Tarpon through patient poling—and finishing strong with fast-paced bonefish fishing.

This 4-hour excursion takes you around the Florida Keys' inshore waters in pursuit of the elusive Tarpon. Whether you prefer light tackle or fly fishing, these powerful fish offer an exciting challenge. Night trips are especially rewarding, as Tarpon feed actively after sunset, providing excellent chances to hook one while enjoying the beauty of the setting sun on the water.
Fishing with light tackle on the flats enhances the opportunity for sight fishing species like Permit, Bonefish, Tarpon, and Redfish. This versatile method is popular for catching a wide range of fish, including Mangrove Snapper and Jack Crevalle, which are ideal for kids. Remarkably, Bonefish can also present an excellent chance for younger anglers.
If fly fishing interests you, feel free to bring your own rod, and Captain Robert will gladly accommodate your needs. Fly fishing saltwater species adds a unique and rewarding challenge, especially when targeting Bonefish, Tarpon, and Permit. For Bonefish, Permit, Jacks, Barracudas, Sharks, and smaller Tarpon, a 9-weight fast-action fly rod paired with a durable saltwater reel is recommended. For larger Tarpon, Sharks, Barracudas, and Permit, a 10 or 12-weight fly rod and reel setup is ideal.
Captain Robert supplies all necessary fishing licenses, light tackle rods, reels, hooks, and an icebox. You only need to bring any personal food or beverages and your fly fishing gear if you plan to use it. Reserve your adventure now and prepare to battle some mighty Silver Kings!
