Had an awesome day fishing with Captain Luis. He was kind, knowledgeable and put us right on the tarpon. Taught us the proper technique to approach the tarpon in the lagoon waters. Boat was clean and ready, with ample shade. I believe it was about a 22’ center console with a 200 hp outboard. Did not have to go far from the marina to get the fish. Be mindful that if you enter the address the website gives you, it takes you to the wrong marina. Best to just google maps “backwater fishing” and it will take you to the right spot. Great day!

My husband and son, 24 yr old, had an amazing time! They are avid fresh water fishermen in MN, my husband was a fishing guide at Lake of the Woods. This was their first backwater tarpon trip, they both landed fish, one 100+ lbs and the other 85+ lbs. They loved it! Would definitely recommend this Captain! Great time! Worth every penny. They did the early morning 4 hour trip, started at 6:15am.
Capt Miguel was extremely accommodating even though it was a last minute trip decision. I went with three teenage boys (13, 13, 14) and Capt Miguel did an excellent job of explaining how to catch tarpon. The fishing spot was just 5 minutes from the docks which means maximum fishing time and we were on the fish in the first 15 minutes. He was patient as the boys fought their first silver king and did all the heavy lifting at the end. Capt Miguel was very knowledgeable and knew what he was doing. Can’t wait to go fishing with him again!

Capt. Fernando was absolutely amazing. He was very professional, funny, well-prepared, and extremely knowledgeable. I told him as we headed out that I have a high standard for quality fish. We laughed and he said we’ll maintain that standard. He did exactly what he said he would do. He put me on several Tarpon right away and we ended the trip with an hour and 45 minute fight on a fish over 100 lbs. I can’t possibly say enough about how wonderful he was and how well this trip went. 10/10 highly recommend! I will do it again when I come back!

We had a wonderful experience in the backwater. Captain Fernando started with a series of drifts using large live bait. We shifted locations and styles and over time were rewarded by hookups and we landed a 112lb amazing fish. Captain Fernando was engaging, knowledgeable and experienced. We recommend both the outfit and captain Fernando.
