The fishing experience
Danny offers light-tackle and fly fishing, with trips built around local conditions and the species you want to pursue. Snook, redfish, and tarpon feature prominently in the trip descriptions. Nearshore options add different water and fishing styles when conditions allow.
Specialty outings
Dedicated tarpon and shark trips are available. The shark trips are described as catch and release. Discuss the length of the day and the amount of casting or heavy tackle work you want. A specialty trip can have different timing and booking terms from a general bay outing.
Included supplies
Published inclusions are rods, reels, tackle, live bait, license coverage, fuel, ice, cooler space, and fish cleaning and bagging. Bring lunch, preferred drinks, a hat, sunglasses, and sun protection. Confirm any personal equipment you wish to use.
Published seasonal prices
January-through-March and August-through-December rates are $650 for four hours, $900 for six hours, and $1,200 for eight hours. During April-through-July peak tarpon season, the listings show $1,200 for six hours and $2,000 for ten hours. Confirm group size and the selected itinerary.
Getting a quote
Contact Danny for the current price, passenger limit, assigned boat, and meeting time. Tell him whether you are staying in Boca Grande or Punta Gorda because the operator advertises pickup options in both areas. Request deposit and cancellation terms with the quote.
