What is included

Capt. Andy provides rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing-license coverage, an onboard cooler and ice. Bring your own food and drinks, along with a hat, sunscreen and polarized sunglasses. If you bring a cooler, it must be small, soft-sided or collapsible and fit in the under-deck compartment.

One captain, one fishing plan

Capt. Andy guides his own boat and tailors the trip to the anglers aboard. Some days a longer trip creates more room to follow changing fish movement; other days a shorter outing fits your schedule. He will talk through the options before you reserve.

Planning around tides and season

Good tarpon fishing is possible throughout the April–October season. Around new and full moons, stronger tidal flow can offer a different style of fishing. Ask about your dates rather than assuming the moon alone determines the trip.

Pickup is offered only at selected locations and is confirmed in advance. Tell Capt. Andy where you are staying so he can discuss a practical meeting point. The home base is El Jobean, Florida.
