Capt. Jeff,

Sorry for the delay…needed to whip my office staff back into shape!

Here's the report…

Lunkerdog Guide Service is the way to experience Florida's inshore light tackle fishing!

Capt. Jeff Maggio is an exceptional, knowledgeable and ultra determined guide and captain.

Not only will he put you on the fish, but he will not give up until you land your dream catch.

Be it a 150lb Tarpon or a 20lb Snook!

Being a North Jersey Salt, I came down to Florida for a much anticipated bout with the Florida Inshore Light Tackle Game and Capt. Jeff provided LOADS of it!!

Every place Capt. Jeff takes an angler there are fish and opportunities!

Your first troll for a 200lb Tarpon, watching it smack your bait 5 feet out of the water is heart pounding enough, but then having one inhail your mullet and take off half your spool in the first 10 sec. is a sight and feeling that will leave any angler breathless.

And with Capt Jeff. at the helm….ITS ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!

The highlight of my fishing trip was the night time bite! Capt Jeff took me to a bridge in the downtown Miami area and had the game locked down! For hours we pitched shrimp under the lights to waiting Tarpon and caught ONE AFTER THE OTHER!

And it was all accentuated and topped off by the last fish of the night…thinking it was yet another Tarpon, that was just saving its acrobatic display for the end of the fight, to my ecstatic excitement, after a 30 min. battle on 8lb test line, it was a LUNKER Snook weighing in at close to 20lbs. and measuring 38 in.!! (Check out the pic)

If your looking to experience Florida's Light Tackle Fishing go out with Capt. Jeff Maggio of Lunkerdog!! Not only will you catch fish of a lifetime but you'll have a blast doing it!!

The experience alone will be one that I will never forget! Thanks Cap! See you on my next trip down!
