Fishing Boat and equipment:
You will be fishing out of a 2004 Triton Light Tackle Special (LTS). It's 24' length and 8'6" beam make it comfortable to fish in and offers a safe dry ride in even the roughest water. It is equipped with a 225hp Mercury Optimax, Lowrance electronics, and a Motor Guide trolling motor. The boat has a center console with plenty of "run around room" you will need when that big tarpon gets close to the boat.Check it out on the resources page. Fishing tackle includes All-star rods and Shimano reels.

The line used is Power Pro braid with a Team Fish fluorocarbon leader to get you that bite when the fishing is tough. You can't catch a tarpon with mediocre equipment. All equipment is well maintained and replaced when there is any sign of wear. Personalized instruction is provided on knot tying, rigging techniques and fishing methods for all anglers.
