I started tarpon fishing over 15 years ago, fishing was already an unfathomed passion, but I found a deeper passion within that…. The need to catch big fish, bigger fish, stronger fish, smarter fish. All of this led me to the Megalops Atlanticus, the silver king……. The tarpon. From the moment I saw the first one fly every other species took a back seat. My hands are shaking typing this like I just jumped a 120, that’s how I know it’s real, that’s how you know it’s real. From the moment they show up until the moment they migrate out, it’s all I do, it’s all I think about…. Rough seas, calm days, slow days or epic bites…. I’m out there regardless. I work very hard, everyday, and I love to share this passion with my friends and clients. Thank you to EVERYONE who booked a charter with me last year!Tarpon season has now been open for booking since yesterday and the phone is absolutely blowing up, I am almost sold out for summer already with nearly ZERO weekends left! I highly suggest you #bookatrip asap before they’re all sold out. Last year was an epic season putting over 220 tarpon in the air w clients and nearly reaching the century Mark with landed fish.(not a single fish gaffed, not a single fish killed) with tons of bigs in 140-160lb range and quite a few tanks in the 180-200lb range. I cannot wait until next season!I can’t end it without talking about the epic 2 days @travistookit 🎥 and I had filming this video(and multiple others). Pods of tarpon were crazy w groups of 20-100 fish passing by us all morning! We landed multiple fish each day on both artificial and live bait, including some double hookups that were insane. As much as I knew travis wanted to fight a monster he remained professional and filmed me doing my thing on both days even during some intense tarpon busting/free jumping action and more! I’ve worked w travis once a year for 3 years already and can’t wait to have him back this year again!(Btw he did get some tugs himself before it was all said and done!)Visit www.inshorefishingsouthpadre.com for more info #texastarpon #fishshimano #oneboatnetwork #humminbirdpro #minnkotapro by @capt_brianbarrera

The #fishshimano Spheros SW10k was built for fish like this… Video 2 from an epic trip with @travistookit on the 🎥 and myself on the reel.. We ran the boat over 60 miles to and from the fish this day, but it was worth it! They weren’t showing at all but once we found them on the #humminbirdfishing #mega360 it was chew time!www.inshorefishingsouthpadre.com#oneboatnetwork #MEGAimaging #solix12 #tarpon #bigfishdontlie #trouteater #catchmeoutside #fisheveveryday #localguide #localknowledge #fishlocal #askthecity #sicparvismagna🔥 Check out the gear I use over 300 days a year🔥@fish_shimano_north_america 💥 @humminbirdfishing 💥 @minnkotamotors 💥 @fishgloomis 💥 @fishpowerpro 💥 @engelcoolers 💥 @lagunamadre 💥 @ownerhooks 💥 @fishmonkeygloves 💥 @costasunglasses 💥Few trips still available $1000 2 people $1200 with lodging Early-mid November. by @capt_brianbarrera

🐂 300+ BULLREDS IN 2 WEEKS! 🐂 Had an epic run of bullred fishing that lasted almost two moon phases before thinning out. Very tiring continuously throwing the cast net, pulling fish in, and safely releasing every single bull except 2 smaller 29” that my clients wanted to tag. Mr. Treviño’s @migueltrevinocedillo day with his longtime buddy was in midsts of it. We stopped counting and taking pictures of fish after 30. These guys were relentless, after every huge redfish they reeled in I swore they’d be tired enough to ask to chase something else or head in…. But they just kept going, fish after fish, finding school after school until the last minute of our charter and then some 😂#relentless #FishShimano #localguide #LocalKnowledge #fishpowerpro oneboatnetwork realguidenogimmicks shallowsportboats bigfishdontlie X3 bullredwww.inshorefishingsouthpadre.com@fish_shimano_north_america @fishgloomis @fishpowerpro @humminbirdfishing @minnkotamotors @costasunglasses @shallowsportboats @suzukimarineusa @engelcoolers @ownerhooks @deckgear @fishseaguar @calusacastnets by @capt_brianbarrera
