I had a great time fishing with Capt. Jeff,there were numerous schools of large tarpon swirling and jumping on the South Beach and bay area. My sister Stephanie and I caught jack cravelles and other smaller fish. The highlight of my trip was hooking eighty pound tarpon which took about forty minutes to land, this included my birthday tarpon being taken hold of by a large shark as I was fighting him. My tarpon took us on a half mile ride that felt like I was attached to a tractor trailer,which finally ended up in the intercoastal waterway. I recommend Capt. Jeff to anyone who really wants to catch monster tarpon.

Thanks for a great time on the water Tarpon fishing this past Monday, May 4th. My wife Jauna and I both enjoyed the trip and will definitely plan another trip with you soon! (Maybe this fall during the months of September or October) I have given your name to a few friends so you may be getting some additional calls from N.C.

Lunkerdog is top notch, very knowledgeable and overall, one of the best fishing guides we’ve had the opportunity of fishing with. We boarded Jeff’s boat around 4:30 pm and within 15 minutes, we had Tarpon making our live mullet dance across the top of the water. For the next 5 – 6 hours, we experienced one strike after another and had about 6 good hook-ups, getting 2 to the boat between 30 – 60 lbs. We had so many strikes that we lost count!

Jeff’s knowledge of what it takes to catch big Tarpon in South Florida was evident when another boat pulled up to fish where we had been fishing all afternoon, and they couldn’t even get a strike. If you want to catch Tarpon in South Florida with the best fishing guide, we highly recommend Lunkerdog, Capt. Jeff!

I've been fishing with Capt. Jeff several times a year for almost 15 years. He is a true fishing legend and he has made great memories for me, my son and friends over the years. I grew up in S. Florida fishing the piers and shoreline and always dreamed of catching the elusive Tarpon. Capt. Jeff put me on the fish of a lifetime and shared his expertise making me a better fisherman. It's my addiction. I always look forward to coming back to the Homeland and fishing with The Lunkerdog every time. He also puts on great podcasts in between my trips there.

Been wanting to fish with Capt. Jeff for years and finally took at trip from Eastern North Carolina, where we live. My wife and I had a ball fishing with Jeff for two days! He’s figured out the perfect combo of serious fishing and laidback style and humor, as evidence by his popular podcast. We were lucky and had incredible weather and fishing, but I’m sure Jeff could keep you very entertained when the tarpon aren’t cooperating as well. Jeff had us hooked up to so many big Tarpon, we were begging for something smaller! We will be back…. Book your trip today, you will have a great time!

Capt Jeff has an immense knowledge of how to find and hunt down one of our most sporting gamefish here in south Florida, the tarpon. If this is your dream, Jeff can put you on one. But that’s not all you can catch, many others like barracuda, snook, jacks, and more can make you have a memorable trip. Jeff has a comedic sense of humor and lots of stories to share while educating you on many facets impacting our local south Florida waters. RTD!!

If you want to catch tarpon Capt. Jeff is your man. Nobody understands them better than him. Caught my 1st tarpon on fly with him. My kid caught his 1st tarpon with him as well. Highly recommend.

Been fishing with Capn. Jeff since I was in the 5th grade. Caught my first tarpon with him all those years ago and still make it a point to get a charter every chance I get. You want authentic Ft. Lauderdale tarpon this is your guy

Capt. Jeff is the go to for all inshore fishing in Southeast FL. From sailfish to tarpon on fly, no one does it better.
