Tampa Bay: A Fly Fisher’s Paradise
From the adrenaline rush of Tarpon off the beaches to the stealthy pursuit of Snook in backwaters and the tranquil hunt for Redfish on the flats, Tampa Bay offers unmatched fly fishing diversity.

Gear Up for Success
Precision boat positioning and the right tackle are key. Opt for 10–12 weight rods, high-capacity reels with smooth drags, and specialized fly lines to match conditions. Every detail counts when battling these silver giants.

Leader Tactics: Lighten Up for More Bites
Modern techniques favor lighter bite sections—knowing when to use monofilament vs. fluorocarbon can dramatically boost your hookup rate. Stay adaptable to outsmart pressured fish.

Flies That Fool Tarpon
Tarpon have razor-sharp vision, so fly selection is critical. Captain Ethan swears by high-visibility patterns like black and purple but prioritizes perfect presentation over color alone.

Fish Like a Local: Seasonal Secrets
Tampa Bay’s seasons dictate the game—winter Redfish and Trout, spring’s multispecies bonanza, and summer’s Tarpon frenzy. With Captain Ethan’s expertise, you’ll always be in the right place at the right time.

Your Adventure Awaits
• Day or night Tarpon trips • Half- or full-day charters • Target Tarpon, Snook, Redfish & more
