Mike Vorderstrasse

Member since August 2025 Goodland, United States
Background
Captain Mike Vorderstrasse has spent a lifetime on the water, driven by a true passion for fishing and the outdoors. He grew up in Nebraska chasing largemouth bass on lakes and farm ponds before moving to Colorado, where he competed in walleye tournaments across the Midwest and spent countless hours trout fishing the Rocky Mountains. Those years taught him patience, precision, and a love for the challenge of connecting with fish in every condition imaginable. Today, Captain Mike calls Southwest Florida home, where he operates tarpon fishing charters in the 10,000 Islands and Everglades. Specializing exclusively in tarpon, he focuses on sight fishing and lure presentations that put anglers right in the action. Whether you’re looking for a world-class tarpon experience near Marco Island, Everglades City, or the backcountry waters of the Gulf, Captain Mike delivers an unforgettable day chasing the Silver King. Beyond fishing, what truly sets Captain Mike apart is his genuine love for people. He enjoys sharing stories, teaching techniques, and helping others experience the thrill of watching a tarpon explode on the line. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or it’s your first trip, you’ll find his enthusiasm and dedication make every charter a memorable adventure.
Techniques
Casting artificial baits with baitcast or spinning gear. We also use FFS when targeting tarpon.
