Meet Tanner Martin

Boats suited to different trips

The boats page describes a 17.8-foot technical poling skiff and a custom 22-foot Carolina Skiff. The larger skiff is listed for up to six passengers, while the mud-boat page specifies one to three anglers. Capacity depends on the boat and fishing style, so confirm the setup for your group.

Fishing choices

Spin-fishing trips offer instruction in casting and presentation, while fly outings focus on sight casting to shallow-water fish. Redfish, snook and tarpon feature in the fishing menu. Mud-boat trips run approximately four to six hours through shallow backcountry habitat. Dedicated tarpon trips should be scheduled around the captain's current seasonal advice.

Inclusions and family arrangements

The mud-boat package lists fishing rods, reels, bait, tackle, ice, coolers, catch cleaning and licenses. Bring a hat, polarized sunglasses, sun protection and snacks, and verify the inclusions for your chosen trip. The operator welcomes children and can discuss multi-boat arrangements for larger parties.
