Trip choices
Four-hour half days are offered for guests with limited time or those trying the fishing for the first time. Eight-hour full days allow a broader Everglades trip or more attention to a specific goal. Four-hour evening tarpon outings are advertised during spring.

Possible targets
Tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish and snook are among the species Chris highlights. Ask which are realistic for your dates and whether fly or spinning tackle best suits your skills. A focused sight-fishing trip can involve searching and waiting between casting opportunities.
Preparing your group
Confirm the boat, maximum passengers, shade and seating when reserving. Ask which tackle, bait, license coverage, water and ice are supplied. Bring sun protection and arrange food and drinks directly with the captain, particularly for a full day.
Booking details
Call or email Chris for the current fare and availability. The website directs guests to contact the operator rather than publishing fixed prices. Request the deposit, cancellation and weather policy, then confirm the exact marina slip and meeting time.
