A trip I will remember forever. The first Airboat Ride and the first time on the Fenholloway River. Captain Tanner put us on the trout, redfish, and sheepshead! Super easy fishing along with beautiful scenery. Very impressed with this young man and his airboat. Looking forward to my next trip on the “Seminole Wind” with Captain Tanner Schwab.

If you are looking for a first-rate hunt, go with Tanner. He will work his tail off for you to get the best gator he can find! We had the time of our lives when we went with him last summer. You won’t be disappointed.
