Capt Andy Boyette
Planning a Boca Grande tarpon fishing charter? I’m Capt. Andy Boyette of Go Fish Charters, and I’ve guided fishing charters in Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor since 1998. From April through October, I exclusively target tarpon, offering 6-hour, 8-hour, and 10-hour trips for up to four anglers. Prime dates are often booked months ahead, so plan early.
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 from April well into October. If you're comparing Boca Grande tarpon fishing guides, Capt. Andy Boyette has guided anglers throughout these waters for decades, specializing in tarpon and following the fish as conditions change throughout the season. You can find current trip options and pricing on the Tarpon Fishing Rates page.

Tarpon begin showing up in the Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor area in April and remain through October. Early in the season, April offers excellent opportunities for sight fishing with light spinning tackle on the flats and in the backcountry waters of Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Charlotte Harbor. By May and June, large numbers of tarpon gather around Boca Grande as part of their annual pre-spawn migration. Boca Grande Pass and the surrounding waters can hold tremendous concentrations of fish, creating some of the most exciting tarpon fishing of the year. Capt. Andy Boyette has guided fishing charters since 1998. Go Fish Charters specializes in world-class light-tackle tarpon fishing and adjusts each trip to the season, conditions, and location of the fish.
Boca Grande tarpon fishing is an experience every serious angler should try. These powerful fish are known for long runs, spectacular jumps, and the kind of fight that has made Boca Grande one of the most famous tarpon fishing destinations in the world. Depending on the season and conditions, we may fish Boca Grande Pass, Charlotte Harbor, the surrounding barrier islands, or more remote areas away from the crowds. Every trip is different, and tarpon are not always the only fish we encounter. Other species may provide additional opportunities throughout the day.
