INSHORE FISHING CHARTERS

TARPON FISHING CHARTERS

Tarpon are at the top of most people’s Florida game fish bucket list for good reason – drag screaming runs, giant leaps into the air, and their overall size just makes them a “must catch” for any angler!

Great Day Fishing with Expert Fisherman Captain Nate Fished with Captain Nate on our first day of a week-long rental on AMI. It was lights out! He picked us up at our dock on a canal, and we headed straight out for a half day of inshore fishing. I was with my two sons (16 and 12). He was an expert with a ton of secret spots, and we caught more sheepshead than we knew what to do with. We also landed a bunch of redfish. He has encyclopedic knowledge of fishing and the local environment, and I didn't stop asking him questions all morning. We learned a ton, and we never went more than 5-10 minutes without landing a fish. At the end of the trip, he gladly filleted a bunch of sheepshead, which we put to good use, feeding our large group two full meals. He has a killer recipe - you'll have to ask him for it! He's also a really good guy. We got the itch a few days later to go out again with a slightly larger group. When we called him last minute, he was already booked (and his partner was leading a duck hunting trip), but he scrambled and found us a guide he recommended within 15 minutes. Great guy, great fisherman and guide - highly recommended.

Awesome Fishing! Captain Nate is Awesome! He is very patient and didn’t yell at us hacks from Utah trying to set the hook like we do catching trout. He is very knowledgeable with the area, picked us up at our dock and got us in to some nice Snook and Reds. He even let us keep a red, filleted right on the boat and put in a bag for us to take home. I can’t wait to get out with Captain Nate again this Spring.

Great time fishing out at Anna Maria Island Had a great time fishing with Captain Nate. Very friendly and easy to talk to and caught a lot of fish. He had plenty of quality equipment for us to use and was very good at keeping us fishing when a hook came off, needed new bait, etc. Would highly recommend.

Great guide Capt. Nate knows his waters and put us on the fish. Nice clean boat and tackle. Reds, snook, jack, and the occasional speck. My only regret is not booking longer. Next time!

Great afternoon trip with Captain Nate My son, grandson and I spent an afternoon fishing with Captain Nate. We had a great afternoon of fishing in the gulf. Captain Nate was extremely helpful keeping lines baited, unhooking fish, and providing tips and information. He moved locations several times to keep us on the fish. We had pretty steady action catching fish - porgy, grunt, flounder, mackerel, grouper, snapper. Great fishing trip. I can certainly recommend Captain Nate.
