Super fun day on the water. Tarpon fishing is no joke and these fish are powerful. Captain Brian kept moving until we found them and we had a couple shots during the trip. Definitely worth it.

Amazing trip with Sports Coast InShore Charters. We spent the morning along the beaches looking for rolling tarpon and finally got hooked up. The fight was insane. Captain Brian kept coaching the whole time which helped a lot.

Captain Brian is the real deal when it comes to tarpon fishing. He knew exactly where the fish would be moving and got us set up perfectly. We hooked two and landed one nice tarpon. Incredible experience.

First time ever targeting tarpon and it was a blast. Captain Brian explained everything and helped the whole time. We hooked one that put up an incredible fight. Even though we didn’t land it, it was still the highlight of our trip to Florida.

Had an awesome tarpon trip with Captain Brian. We saw fish rolling early and ended up hooking one that jumped a few times before throwing the hook. Still an amazing experience. Brian knows these waters really well and put us in the right spots.
