Boca Grande tarpon fishing charters | “Tarpon capital of the world”

Boca Grande is the best location in the United States to target tarpon and enjoy one of the most exhilarating fights you may ever have. We start targeting tarpon in March and continue to fish for them throughout August.

Tarpon are the most acrobatic fish we encounter. Within minutes of being hooked, tarpon are usually seen flying through the air, doing flips, tail walking, and head shaking! Their strength, endurance, ability to gulp air for additional oxygen, and bouts of blistering runs will have you worn out before you even get close to wearing the tarpon down.

We target tarpon in Boca Grande Pass and surrounding beaches using both spinning and conventional gear with live bait. Our range for tarpon fishing covers the area between Englewood and Captiva. If you are ready to hook in to a Boca Grande silver king, contact us now.

“He knows how to get any fish you want!!”

I was amazed at how talented Jesse was at getting us “on” all sorts of fish. He really knows this area and definitely knows where the fish are — and that is all types of fish. He also was extremely helpful at coaching my son and I on the exact techniques to catch the fish we were after. He is the best guide we have ever had.
