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.
