About
Summertime is Tarpon time! Tarpon are one of the most powerful fish inshore that you can set the hook into. On our tarpon trips, we will be scouting for tarpon schools right along the shoreline, targeting them with live crabs as bait or fishing during the outgoing tides when they are actively feeding on passing prey. Most of the tarpon we expect to catch range between 60 and 140 pounds, with the possibility of landing a larger fish weighing between 150 and 200 pounds during the peak of the season. We will finalize the pickup time and location a few days prior to the trip, considering current weather and fishing conditions. These are once-in-a-lifetime fish, and we would love to get you out there and experience that catch with you!
Please Note Charters are BYOB - Cans Only! No glass bottles are allowed on board.
