Book your next trip with Tarpon Hooker and find out what the fishing in Bokeelia is all about. With Captain Herb at the helm, you’ll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for giant Tarpon with any luck, you’ll find out for yourself! For these fish, you’re likely to use light tackle.

Trips with Tarpon Hooker are fun for all ages, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. And, you can’t go wrong with snacks!

You’ll be casting lines from a 22’ Pathfinder center console with a capacity for 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials. Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is included, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you’ll be catching it yourself.

There’s no need to buy a fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that you may release some fish due to regulations. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

It’s always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with Tarpon Hooker and get hooked!

Tarpon
6 Hour Trip – Tarpon Charter on May 2, 20252 adults
I’ve finally shed many saltwater species all over the states and southern climates. Captain Herb had us on fish the minute we got there and landed many. With many boats around he was able to navigate us through all of them and land some monsters.

6 hour trip with captain herb
6 Hour Trip – Tarpon Charter on June 22, 2024
We had a great time fishing with Captain Herb. He was very knowledgeable about the area and about the fishing. For some things we were doing, he would explain why he was doing something such as waiting for the tide change to stop catching bait and go for tarpon. He was also able to put us on some fish and was very helpful while fighting the tarpon. If I had not had his encouragement I would not have been able to land it. I would 100% encourage doing this fishing trip. It was overall an outstanding experience with some fun catching bait as well as a huge tarpon. The boat was also very clean and handled any waves with ease.

6 hour trip with Captain Hofmann
6 Hour Trip – Tarpon Charter on May 8, 2024
Captain Hofmann was an excellent guide. His professionalism and mindfulness on fish patterns and where fish are located made the charter an enjoyable experience, as well as worth the money! You can tell Captain Hofmann has been on the local waters and knows them well as he could explain equipment, areas and safety precautions in depth. He's a stand up guy and I felt very secure and safe booking with him. I highly recommend choosing Captain Hofmann for future trips.
