Longboat Key Florida
Beautiful clear flats are studded with abundant mangrove shorelines. That's the West Coast of Florida, some of the finest Backcountry fishing in the world! That is the back-drop these hard fighting game fish occupy, Snook, Tarpon, Pompano, Redfish, Trout, and Permit. Capt. Matt specializes in Light Tackle and Fly Fishing for them all. The summer months are prime Tarpon fishing in Tampa Bay, as the Tarpon move up the west coast from world famous Boca Grande. Capt. Matt supplies his own custom designed fly patterns for your fishing pleasure.

You don't have to fly to exotic places to catch big fish, Capt. Matt has perfected the sport right here in the Tampa - Sarasota Bay & Longboat Key areas. For a rare outing, book a trip with one of us !!

Superb Light Tackle and Fly Fishing! The Ultimate fish is the Tarpon, known as the Silver King. May thru November, sight fishing for Tarpon in Tampa Bay rivals that of any other place in the world. You will never forget the experience of casting to a school of 50-150 pound Tarpon, and the heart stopping thrill when he takes your line! Occasionally fish top the 200 lb. mark, and Capt. Matt has the expertise and equipment to hook you up. Capt. Matt ties and supplies all of his own "special" flies!
