All trips include your fishing license, Rod & Reels, all bait & tackle, coolers with ice and the cleaning of your catch upon our return to the dock.  All you need to bring is your food and drink, appropriate dress for the season and a desire to spend time on some of Florida's most beautiful waters.   Whether you are a seasoned pro or have never fished before, there is nothing like a day on the water in south west Florida.  In addition to the fish pictured above, on those calm days that we can venture out side of the passes and fish along the beach or even out to some of the near shore reefs, you never know what can end up on the end of your line. One minute you may be catching smaller bait fish and the next minute fighting a 100lbs Tarpon or a 300lbs shark or maybe a 50lbs ray.

Capt Kent has been fishing the waters around Wiggins Pass and  New Pass, both back water and near shore waters for well over 20 years.  Everyday aboard his 24 foot Pontoon boat is a little different, from the fish you catch to the wildlife and marine life you encounter.

May your lines be tight and your seas be calm.
