Check out what’s been going on!

Boca Grande & Charlotte Harbor Fishing

This area of the Southwest Florida coast is home to epic battles with monster game fish, as well as a sight fishing paradise for light tackle & fly fishing enthusiasts.

Charlotte Harbor houses resident favorites such as snook, redfish, trout, and tarpon. It is home to a stellar inshore and backcountry fishery, and is a favorite for sight fishing anglers.

Boca Grande is also a top notch inshore fishery, but is more notable for the yearly tarpon migration that runs through this area. During this time of year, these monster Silver King’s come in by the hundreds. Anglers from all over the world congregate here for their own shot at this big time fighter.

These areas also house shots at goliath grouper as well as bull sharks, hammerhead sharks, kingfish and a lot more.

There is a nearshore fishery here that rivals some of the best in offshore action, but is truly only a short boat ride away. No long boat runs, just big fishing action!

Boca Grande Fishing Charters

In Boca Grande, Florida visitors and residents alike have the opportunity to fish a wide variety of habitats and species. Boca Grande is commonly known as the Tarpon fishing capital of the world, and this name was not handed out by accident. This area is at the epicenter of the yearly Tarpon migration that happens along the gulf coast of the state, it is home to major tarpon fishing tournaments, and even holds a healthy population of resident tarpon. For tarpon fishing, nothing beats Boca Grande.

Outside of tarpon fishing, Boca Grande is also home to a stellar inshore fishery. This area and the adjoining Charlotte Harbor are home to resident inshore gamefish that are favorites of Florida anglers across the state. Boca Grande has snook, sea trout, redfish, black drum, cobia, flounder, permit, sharks, and many more targeted species.

Then visitors have the opportunity to scoot out just beyond the shallows into our nearshore fishery. In the nearshore, you can again expect a wide variety of highly sought after species. These include amberjack, grouper, snapper, tuna, kingfish, cobia, and again – many other popular species of big game fish.

For fly fishing, not much beats Boca Grande either! Whether targeting tarpon on fly, sight fishing the flats or hitting the backcountry for snook – Boca Grande offers long rod anglers many opportunities to fly fish a simply epic fishery.
