Planning a Boca Grande tarpon fishing charter? Boca Grande is the best place for tarpon fishing in Florida, so plan early. I exclusively tarpon fish April–October. These months are highly sought after, and trips book up quickly. I offer 6-hour, 8-hour, and 10-hour Boca Grande tarpon fishing charters.
Boca Grande is famous for its exceptionally large tarpon, with fish commonly exceeding 100 pounds and some reaching more than 200 pounds. Each year, large numbers of tarpon move through Boca Grande Pass and Charlotte Harbor, creating one of Florida's most renowned tarpon fisheries.
Tarpon can be found throughout Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor and can be caught in great numbers from April well into October. Looking for a Boca Grande tarpon fishing guide?
