Floridian Guide Co

From May through July come enjoy crystal clear white sand flats, strings of giant migrating Tarpon and you on the bow with a fly rod in hand. Few things in the world of sport fishing compare to pursuing a Tarpon with a fly rod. They’re big, powerful, acrobatic, ancient fish and will burn a lasting image into your mind that will leave you with an unexplainable emotion that can’t be put into words. Simply put, time would be wasted to find a fish in comparison to a tarpon and all that it encompasses. The west coast of Florida is a major migration path and winters a large number of fish due to our bays and river ways along the coast. In fact several world records have been caught and broken just a short boat ride from where we fish. This is the pinnacle in Salt Water Fly Fishing. A lot of emphasis will be put on the pursuit of the fish but more importantly Tommy will give you years and years of instruction in a very short period of time. Tommy's goal as a guide is to develop his anglers into better all around fisherman on and off his boat. Capt. Tommy provides rod, reels, and tackle, but welcomes clients to bring their own. Tommy works closely with his clients and tailors each trip to the individuals needs. He will make suggestions for fishing locations based on conditions and fishing reports. He will provide a meeting location prior to the trip

The ultimate hunt. Giant tailing redfish, cruising snook along a mangrove covered shoreline or a gator trout laid up in a pot hole. The Tarpon Springs area and its surrounding estuaries are home to an abundance to all 3 and call our pristine turtle grass flats home. In certain times of the year we target these species in very shallow crystal clear water. This is strictly a sight fishing game and is somewhat similar to a spot and stalk big game hunt, we pole miles and miles of endless flats looking for laid up fish or cruising fish in transition with the tide. With the weather being generally clear and calm its a very effective time to present a fly to these awesome fish, when the weather doesn't allow or at the anglers preference we will use spinning tackle . This style of fishing will put your angling skills to the test and is extremely effective when conditions are in our favor. Join me to complete that slam on fly or just explore a new style of fishing and learn more about technical shallow water fishing.
