What an amazing journey it was! Captain Dennis is truly passionate about Tarpon fishing! Right from the beginning, he led us to the Tarpon, and the excitement was beyond words when we successfully brought one on board. Captain Dennis patiently guided us, especially for us freshwater enthusiasts, explaining not only how but also why to target and battle these colossal Tarpon. I wholeheartedly endorse booking a trip with Captain Dennis!

Captain Dennis was fantastic! We embarked on a morning adventure with my wife and two kids. He introduced us to the scenic beauty, and then we set off towards a mangrove region. Here, he patiently taught our 8-year-old how to tie knots, cast a line, and reel in a catch. His patience was truly commendable, and the kids had an absolute blast. We reeled in a variety of Snook and some enormous Jackfish!

Our final evening in Fort Lauderdale was truly unforgettable! Abundant fish surrounded us, and Captain Dennis' expertise was instrumental in each of us successfully catching Tarpon. Captain, thank you once again, and we can't wait to return soon!

Captain Dennis cultivated a remarkable environment and displayed a wealth of expertise. We had a diverse group, ranging from novices to seasoned anglers, and he skillfully assisted individuals with varying levels of proficiency simultaneously. There's no doubt that we'll be reserving another outing with Flat Bottom in the future.

It was a thrilling morning with Captain Dennis at the helm. When another captain had to cancel at the last minute, Captain Dennis stepped in promptly and accommodated us for my dad's birthday celebration. The experience was truly exceptional. Captain Dennis wasted no time in getting us onto the fish right from the beginning. We reeled in 6 Jackfish, 2 Barracuda, and an impressive 70-pound Tarpon. His expertise and flexibility were outstanding. I highly recommend his services. What's more, he even shared GoPro footage of our epic battles!

Dennis proves to be an exceptional captain, consistently ready to offer assistance, provide guidance, and go above and beyond. We've had the pleasure of going out with him on four separate occasions, and without a doubt, we'll be setting sail with him again. He's a true Tarpon enthusiast, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services.
