SPECIALIZING IN
GIANT TARPON

   Thrill to the heart stopping action of a hundred and fifty pound tarpon clearing the water by six feet while dancing at the end of your line. . . or the steady pull on your drag as a thirty inch plus red fish bulls away from the feel of a bent rod.

   Captain Rick LeFiles can offer a complete anglers retreat providing superb lodging directly across from Captain Rick's at the Whippoorwill House.  Recently renovated, the original Yankeetown school house built in 1924 has been transformed into a beautiful lodge catering to local and traveling anglers.

   Fine dining is just one block west of the Whippoorwill House at the Izaak Walton Lodge, located on the river.  View native wildlife while enjoying exquisite dining and ambiance - - reservations requested.

  Experience the best of all worlds nestled together in the quiet community of Yankeetown, Florida.   

 

   Captain Rick offers a great experience for the light tackle angler using fly or conventional equipment.  Fish the flats from Osprey I, our state of the art eighteen foot Dolphin Backcountry flats boat or take a scenic pontoon Eco -Tour down the beautiful Withlacoochee River to it's mouth at the Gulf of Mexico.

  Generally we practice catch and release, however, you are welcome to bring home enough for dinner. 

  Fishing trips include all tackle, license, and beverage.
