Summer Schedule in Tarpon

[VikingFleet]

Finally...<br /><br /> <br /><br />The summer schedule is in place and we're really excited to start fishing! The actual schedule will begin on Friday, June 9th. We'll start running the 44hr trips on that day and then 12hr trips on Mondays. The trips will stay the same every month, if Capt. Rich adds any special trips we’ll post it on the website & notify you by email. He has left Tues/Wed/Thurs available for private charters, call the office for availability.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The 44hr trips are going to be really cool because of the limited amount of passengers...only 15. Capt. Rich plans on sitting everyone down in the galley the 1st night and finding out who wants to fish for what & how. So one weekend may consist mostly of trolling, another trip bottom fishing or jigging. Every weekend will feel like a private charter, which we think will be pretty great for everyone; the crew too. Mix it up a little! Below is a description of the trips:<br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br /> <br /><br />Trip Descriptions<br /><br />44 Hour Middle Grounds Trips This is NOT your regular Grounds trip!
