Fishing is part of a wider tour service
Jim lists guiding experience dating to 1983 and a Coast Guard Master credential dating to 2005. The business offers trips for families and recreational anglers as well as seasonal tarpon outings.
Its family-fishing description names trout, snook, mackerel and grouper. The tarpon offering focuses on the seasonal movement through local passes, described on the site as strongest from late April through June. Actual opportunities depend on conditions and should be discussed for your date.
Published fishing prices
The family and recreational fishing trip is listed at $350 for four hours for one to three anglers. Tarpon fishing is shown at $350 for four hours or $550 for six hours, also for one to three anglers.
Bait, tackle, licenses and bottled water are included in those fishing descriptions. The public page does not clearly specify a boat model or fishing-trip bathroom arrangement. Ask Jim about the boat and facilities when checking the price.
Island visits and wildlife options
Separate outings include dolphin watching, nature tours, shelling, sunset cruises and trips with a lunch stop at Cabbage Key. Some sightseeing trips list more passengers than the fishing packages. Choose the activity first, then confirm the correct capacity.
The lunch is described as not hosted, meaning the meal itself is not included in the tour price. Island landings and walking plans should be reconfirmed with the operator. Access and weather can change what is possible on a particular day.
Where to meet and what to bring
The website gives a Bokeelia office address and mentions Jug Creek Marina for one of its lunch outings. Neither detail guarantees the same departure for fishing. Request the precise fishing dock and arrival time in your confirmation.
Pack the lunch or snacks you want, rain protection, a hat, sunglasses and sunblock. Email is specifically encouraged for current information and rates. Ask about the deposit, payment schedule and cancellation policy, which are not clearly explained in the reviewed pages.
Details checked October 2, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
