If you plan on fishing in Boca Grande, look no further than South Shore Fishing Charters. With Captain Terrell at the helm, you'll benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

These waters are known for Tarpon, and more – with any luck, they'll make your reel scream.

During the trip you might be spinning, drifting, or maybe something more specialized in this area.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to maintain your energy throughout the trip!

Your vessel for the day is a 24' Bay boat with room for 3 passengers. It has a fighting chair, all the essentials.

Your captain will provide rods and reels. Live bait is on offer, but you should ask the captain whether you'll be catching it yourself.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with South Shore Fishing!

Half Day 4hrs (AM) BG Tarpon on April 24, 2026

Captain T made everything so easy and fun. He was super knowledgeable about the area, and put us on several tarpon Captain T genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. He celebrated every catch with us like it was his own. I would 100% recommend him to anyone that’s looking for a fun day on the water. Will definitely be booking another charter with him soon.
