Home Page Tarpon Fishing |
Hiring a Captain or Guide Service for your fishing charter is a big decision. With all the internet sites that now advertise and promote their business, I designed this page to help with client inquiries and hopefully make your choice a little easier. Below are some of the frequently asked questions that I receive. For Fishing

Q: Do we need to book in advance?
A: Yes, the best chance
for you to get a day that fits your schedule is to call about two weeks in
advance. The months of March, April, May, June, and July
are prime months with May-July devoted to tarpon
fishing only and should be booked with as much advanced notice as possible.
Q: Where do you fish?
A: All of Southwest Florida. Which Includes Charlotte Harbor, Fort Myers,
Pine Island Sound, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Boca Grande Pass, Sanibel,
Englewood.
Q: Where do you pickup your clients?
A: Below is a interactive map of the area with Highlighted pickup locations. You can click on a location and get directions from your location. Other pickup arrangements can be made prior to the charter.
Q: What can we expect to catch?
A: Tarpon, snook, redfish, jack crevelle or sharks from Englewood to Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor area south through Pine Island and Fort Myers. Southwest Florida has a multitude of fish species available to target with light tackle. Trout, mackerel, ladyfish, snapper, grouper, pompano, bluefish and flounder. Cobia, triple tail and permit are also available during certain parts of the year.
Q: What do we need to bring?
A: All tackle, rods, and reels are provided unless you want to use your personal equipment. Each person is advised to wear a hat and sunscreen. Good polarized sunglasses are recommended for spotting fish. Bring any food and drinks you want. I keep plenty of ice onboard so you don't need to pack a cooler. Canned alcohol is allowed, but if it gets out of hand the trip is over!
Q: Do we need a fishing license?
A: No. My license covers up to four customers on my boat.
Q:
What is the best time to catch tarpon?A: May-July. However late fall in Charlotte Harbor can be extremely good, these tarpon are somewhat less predictable, but there is much less fishing pressure then and most of my best days of the year come during these times.
Q:
Do you offer any package deals for multiple bookings?A: No, I work just as hard on multiple day trips as I do on single day trips and my overhead doesn't get any less just because you'll book more than one day.
Q: Who is our fishing Guide?
A: Capt Andy Boyette. I personally do all of my fishing charters I am not a booking service so when you hire Go Fish Charters you fish with me. I do have other well qualified guides that help me with multiple boat trips. I use these same guides to help me every year and have the up most confidence in their abilities.
Q: Are you a Head Boat or Party Boat and do you split trips?
A: No. I do private guided charters in the backcountry and near shore waters of Southwest Florida with maximum of 4 anglers on a boat
