My wife and I went out on a morning adventure looking for trout, mackerel, and some snapper to filet. Well, we found the fish and smashed them! Easily caught our limit in snapper and mackerel. I'd be willing to bet we caught close to 100 fish in total. Marty cut the fish up at the dock for us and even gave us a couple recommendations on some local watering holes to celebrate the morning catch. It's an amazing experience down here in Boca Grande and he's the man to put you on the fish.

If you have never fished for Tarpon, they are a challenge. They are tough to get to bite, then they are tough to hook, and if you get that far, just wait for the fight you'll have getting them to the boat! Whoa! An experience of a lifetime and highly recommended. Go out early, bring lots of water and hydration beverages. I'm definitly going again!

Not sure about gas, but there is another "real" marina next door. I recommend just for the experience. Probably similar to when it opened around 100 years ago. They also seem to sell flowers and such, but much of the inventory is dead, or at least it was when we visited.

I've fished with some of the best Captains on the West Coast of FL and I would put Capt Rob at the…read moretop! I say this for a few reasons. His passion drives him to work externally hard under all conditions to put meat in the boat. If the fish are not biting you move on the the next and he works it hard whether it's a good bite or slow bite, Capt Rob gets after it. When you book a trip with him on the Big Naasty, you can expect top notch service from the boat, to the best fishing gear the market has to offer, to the bait, and to the knowledge. There is nothing short of the best from the time you step in the boat till the time you're cleaning fish! I'm a firm believer in: you get what you pay for in life, and that's exactly what you have with Capt Rob and Big Naasty. You won't be disappointed!

Captain Shannon did not maintain communication as was promised, but finally responded to calls and texts the night before at 9:00 p.m after promising he would call at 6:00 p.m.with a change of time and pick-up location. He said he had several bookings for the day, but offered me a tarpon trip for money which I declined. He called me the morning of the trip, May 21st, to cancel the trip. He said he was on the water, hit a submerged object and wrecked his boat. Said how about tomorrow??? No thanks! To date, no charge credit has been issued, and of course, no further communication from the careless captain! Needless to say, the family was very disappointed, and it was suggested that he simply bumped us for a full day charter. Wen speaking to me, "the captain" referred to me as "buddy". I have never really liked that term, and always felt that people who call me "buddy" are anything but. Captain Shannon is not my buddy and if you are smart, you will take this message to heart.
