Tarpon Fishing Adventures?

…….. Well then you've found the right place, the right captain and the right boat.
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, I will put you on
Tarpon, and coach you through the battle of your life!
Hi, I’m Captain Rapps. Every May I offer Tarpon fishing charters at the Bahia Honda Bridge area of Big Pine Key, FL. During this month, Tarpon are Thick! Pre and post spawn Tarpon gather in schools each May. They are hungry and chances of hooking up are near 100%.
In just 5 minutes from the time we push off, you are fishing for these mammoth fish. The fight of a mighty Tarpon is a true battle, and an experience of a lifetime. Tarpon are strictly sport fish and the satisfaction of a fully revived healthy fish is almost better than the battle itself.
I offer 4, 6, and 8 hour charters during the month of May at the Bahai Honda bridge. You can choose either an early morning trip, an afternoon / evening trip, or a full day on the water.

TARPON GUARANTEE: Because I am so confident in my techniques, I guarantee you that we will hook up to at least one tarpon on our charter, or you will receive a free certificate for your next Bahia Honda Bridge Tarpon charter with me.

I will provide:

• Bait
• Top of the line spin gear and tackle
• Coolers and ice
• All necessary fishing licenses, insurance, fuel

 

Rates

Best Value! $500 - Full Day up to 8 hours
$450 - 3/4 Day up to 6 hours
$350 - 1/2 Day up to 4 hours

It is most comfortable fishing 2 anglers, however a 3rd angler can come along
for no additional cost to you if you wish to give up a little casting space.

Tips: Although not mandatory, a tip is certainly an honor
if you feel it was earned.

How to Reserve Your Trip:

Don't wait till the last minute - Be sure to book as far as possible in advance to reserve the dates you would like to fish. It is not uncommon for me to have bookings several weeks or months ahead. Please feel free to book online, send me an email, or call so we can discuss available dates. If your schedule allows, I like to look at the tide charts, moon phase, weather patterns, and several other factors to give you the best scenario to fulfill your dream.

Items you should bring :

• Hat, sun protective clothing, & sunglasses (preferably polarized)
• Sun Screen
• Food & Drinks
• Camera
• Rain gear
• White sole shoes or sandals (no black, dark, or marking soles please)

* Please keep your items to a minimum as stowage space is very limited

* Please no smoking, no drugs, and no excessive drinking while on the boat.


Deposits, Cancellations & Payment

A one-hundred dollar ($100) deposit is required to book your charter. If Capt. Rapps cancels prior to the trip, the customer will receive a full refund.
If the customer cancels the trip with at least a 48 hour notice, they will receive a full refund. A customer who is a 'no show', or does not give at least 48 hours notice, will however, forfeit their deposit.
