Tarpon fishing CHARTERS

Venture to the “Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World” for the thrill of Boca Grande tarpon fishing. A prehistoric sport fish known for its power and acrobatics, you’ll fight tarpon on heavy tackle for a fast, healthy release.

Spring kicks off Southwest Florida’s tarpon season as thousands migrate through and gather in Boca Grande for their annual spawn. Fish are caught along the beaches and in the passes. From July to our first Fall cold fronts, Charlotte Harbor is haven for tarpon and they’re often less pressured than the springtime fish.
