Captain Ethan is a seasoned fly fishing guide specializing in the flats of Tampa Bay, Clearwater Beach, St. Pete Beach, and Dunedin. A native of Safety Harbor, he expertly navigates Tampa Bay and the Pinellas Peninsula, ensuring an unforgettable fishing experience regardless of Florida’s unpredictable weather.

Tampa Bay’s Bounty
Tampa Bay and its surrounding waters offer exceptional fly fishing opportunities. Whether pursuing Tarpon off the beaches, targeting Snook in the backwaters, or poling the flats for Redfish, this region delivers unparalleled excitement.

The Allure of Tarpon
Fly fishing for Tarpon is often considered the pinnacle of angling. The thrill lies not only in the Tarpon’s acrobatics and fierce fight but also in the intricate teamwork between guide and angler. Captain Ethan emphasizes patience, persistence, and collaboration—key to landing these majestic fish, which migrate in large numbers when water temperatures range between 72°F and 78°F.

Essential Gear
Boat positioning is critical when targeting Tarpon. Fly rods for larger specimens should be 10-12 weight, paired with robust reels featuring large arbors and smooth drag systems to withstand the Tarpon’s power. Fly line selection depends on preference, but understanding the options enhances the experience.

Crafting the Perfect Leader
Leader construction is a debated topic among fly fishers. With evolving techniques, lighter bite sections are gaining popularity. Knowing the differences between monofilament and fluorocarbon—and tailoring your leader accordingly—can significantly improve success rates.

Tampa Bay’s fishing opportunities shift with the seasons. Winter focuses on Redfish and Speckled Sea Trout, while spring brings a surge of species. Captain Ethan’s expertise ensures anglers maximize their chances of success year-round.
