Boca Grande Tarpon Fishing

The “Silver King” is one of the most sought after, shallow water, “big game” fish in all of Florida and Boca Grande is the “Tarpon Capital of the World”. What better combination of fishing could there be? Big fish and tons of them!

Every year, just like clockwork, 10’s of thousands of tarpon migrate to Boca Grande, Florida in or to begin their annual spawn. While they are here, they gorge themselves on baitfish and crabs in order to build up strength for spawning and we take advantage of this by taking some of those baitfish and crabs and put them on a hook and feed them to these giant silver beasts.

Hooking a Tarpon in Boca Grande

Hooking a tarpon is like nothing you’ll ever experience in shallow water fishing. On the initial hookset, 100lb+ fish leap into the air and then take 100’s of yards of line off the spool in the blink of an eye. Drag screaming runs and aerial acrobatics are what they are famous for and you’ll remember every second of it with every ache of your arm muscles for days after your trip.
