Well, I wish I could say ,our guide never put us on any fish, but he put us right on top of the tarpon late in the day, and we just couldnt land one! We watched a 150lb tarpon breach the surface and spit the hook. Many, many opportunities, we just couldn’t make it happen. We did catch plenty of mangrove snapper for dinner. Mike was a lot of fun, he picked on us a little, me especially because I couldn’t hold still long enough to land that monster tarpon, but he was awesome, and if I ever come back to try again, we will def book with Mike and Easy Does It charters. Captain Mile kept it light, tried so hard to help us catch fish, and did, cleaned up our catch, and was very knowledgeable of the area and where to go. No complaints here, but I will think about that tarpon for a long, long time…

Our first order of business was to boat tarpon so we started with Sunset charter. This was a successful trip in that we caught several legal mutton snapper which made for delicious lunches at the Hurricane Hole restaurant.  The tarpon cooperated in a big way by hooking up a 150 pound tarpon at 8:30 PM, Captain Zach could have pulled the plug on the outing but being the true fisherman he chased the tarpon for an hour and a half.  10:00 PM gets incredibly dark when you are a mile of two out to sea. ;-)

Over the course of several days we caught 3 tarpon, several mutton snapper, mangrove snapper, grouper, lemon shark and barracuda.  Captain Zach always put us on fish and he is great fun and have never seen anybody move as quickly around a boat!

Capt. Hugh told us fishing may not be good with winds coming in but we decided to try anyway and happy we did. He took us to a few different spots with no luck before finding the spot fish were biting. Caught a couple Grouper and two black tip reef sharks. We fought a couple other big ones that eventually broke/cut the line. Topped it off with catching enough Snapper for the four of us for dinner at the Marina. Second time fishing with Capt. Hugh and both trips were great! Nothing like spending the day on the ocean and bringing back fresh fish for dinner! We’ll be back for sure next time we’re in the Keys!

We had the best time! Captain David Larson was absolutely amazing! He was excellent with kids. He was always making sure we were doing ok. He knew I get sea sick so he took it easy on me. Was very respectful. Was very entertaining. And so kind. I 100% recommend Captain David Larson if you take this charter! You will not be disappointed. We caught so many fish! And saw so many amazing things! One being a Manatee!
