Tarpon Fishing Near Orlando and Disney World
THE 2026 TARPON SEASON IS HER! We are getting tarpon daily now! We are getting tarpon in the 50 to 150 pound range daily!!
We are in full blown tarpon season now!! Book now for the fight of a life with the most powerful saltwater light tackle gamefish on earth!
The Tarpon, Atlantic Tarpon, also called the Silver King is one of the number one targeted sport fish on the earth. These fish are some of the best fighting fish anglers have come across with using light tackle.
Central Florida offers a wide selection of two different Tarpon fishing charters in the area and this is the closest Tarpon fishing near Orlando you will find. We target big Tarpon here throughout the warmer months in the spring through the fall along the beaches, just outside the inlets.
The backcountry Tarpon fishing is done on the Mosquito Lagoon, and Indian River on the flats in New Smyrna Beach, Daytona Beach, Ponce Inlet, Port Canaveral, and Cocoa Beach. This is normally from May through October.
Typically May through November, with May, June, July, August, September, and October being prime time for big beach, nearshore, and backcountry Tarpon.
However, the smaller Tarpon can be found throughout the area year-round in the far backcountry waters of the Indian River, Halifax River, Banana River, Sebastian Inlet, and the Mosquito Lagoon. These fish range around 5 to 20 pounds, which are perfect for light tackle applications of both spin and fly.
Along the beaches on the nearshore fishing trips is where you will find the 100-plus pound Tarpon. These tarpon begin showing up in April and are in full force all summer long.
Join New Smyrna & Cocoa Beach Tarpon Fishing and Captain Drew to have your own Tarpon adventure!
We will either meet in Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach, or Daytona Beach. This depends on where we are catching the most of the targeted fish you want and gets us closer to them. We will know the address to meet a few days before your trip.

If you are looking for an inshore trip around Orlando, Captain Drew is your guy. My girlfriend and I joined him at New Smyrna beach at the crack of dawn and had an awesome time. My girlfriend has been fishing a handful of times, and Drew made her feel confident and comfortable out on this trip. He is one funny dude to boot! Boat had plenty of room, live bait and everything we needed provided. Caught a number of different species after checking out some different spots. It was an incredible time and we’re very glad to have gone out with Captain Drew.
Had a great time with you both. Hope to see you again. Happy travels!

Capt. Drew has been by far eh best tarpon fishing guide i have been with in my lifetime. This is our 4th time with him and as always spot on! Not only does he know his tarpon fishing but knows the ins and outs of getting to this level. You can tell he has put years into this. If you want the very best the Drew is your Guide.
You guys were great! Cannot believe how many tarpon we caught that morning. Thanks so much.
Been tarpon fishing several times across the globe and fishing with Drew the other day was one of the better ones. If you are wanting a guide who not only knows what he is doing but actually follows through, then book Captain Drew. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much!
Well you can always judge a day by your kids or grandkids on the time they had with you. My grandkids fished with us last month and they said they now want to go again. Now that is a good day. Thanks Capt. Drew, see you in a few months.
Look forward to seeing you in a few months again.
I booked a reunion type of fishing trip with friends and we choose Drew's tarpon trip to do. We never caught them so it was fun, most definitely unique fishing. We saw how they were some of the most sought after fish on earth. We will be back again.
