This Trip is truly special and is all about Sight Casting Tarpon at Night! Most of these Tarpon are between 60-100 Pounds with occasional smaller 40 pounders and 130+ pound fish, and are all caught by Sight Casting in the Dark. I have put many first time Tarpon Anglers on their First Tarpon with this trip so do not be intimidated by the fact it will be dark.
Depending on the Tide and Moon Phase, you may have up to 100 shots on different fish so it is very forgiving if you don't make the right cast on the first few fish we see. Fly Fishing and Spin-Fishing are both available for this trip (or both).
