Boca Grande tarpon fishing charters |
“Tarpon capital of the world”
Boca Grande is the #1 location in the United States to visit if you want to enjoy one of the most exhilarating fights you may ever have.
Tarpon are one of the most acrobatic fish we encounter. Within minutes of being hooked, tarpon are usually seen flying through the air, doing flips, tail walking, etc! Their strength, endurance, ability to gulp air for additional oxygen, and bouts of blistering runs taking in excess of a hundred yards will have you tired out before you even get close to wearing the fish down.
We target tarpon primarily around the beaches of Boca Grande using live bait. However, our range for tarpon fishing covers the area between Englewood and Captiva. If you have not experienced beach fishing for tarpon, you are missing out!
Charter dates are filling up so book now to reserve your tarpon fishing charter.
Boca Grande goliath grouper fishing charters
Have you ever felt the feeling of helplessness while fighting a fish? … Like there is absolutely nothing you can do to win the battle … As if you are going to be pulled out of the boat and into the water? If not, that is the exact feeling you will have when you hook into a 500lb goliath grouper. Goliath grouper, pound for pound, are probably one of the most powerful fish around our Boca Grande area. After getting your fish boat side, it will feel as if you just sprinted a 100 yard dash. Sounding enticing yet? If so, give us a call to book your Boca Grande goliath grouper fishing charter while we still have this beautiful weather. Calm seas allow us to fish for the even bigger dogs offshore.

“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.
