In the “Tarpon Capital of the World” – Boca Grande, fishing charters are eager to take you on a quest for the majestic “Silver King.” Blessed with rich wildlife and breathtaking scenery, the party doesn’t stop there. With the productive waters of the Gulf of Mexico at your fingertips, as well as luscious mangrove forests and prolific backcountry, this is a fishery with something for everyone.

While Tarpon fishing in the Boca Grande Pass is the main reason to visit, this charming town can cater to any angler. Closer to shore, you’ll find Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Pompano hiding in the flats and mangroves. For some more action, head a little further to the reefs and wrecks to bottom fish for Red Snapper, Grouper, King Mackerel, as well as target the time-honored Florida favorite – Cobia.

With a variety of trips on offer, you’ll find that everything you need can be accommodated. Trips range anywhere from four to over ten hours, so you can make your choice depending on how much time you have. You’ll find a number of trips specifically targeting the Silver King, but also specialized trips for Goliath Grouper and Sharks for those of you looking for an adrenaline rush.

Setting foot in Boca Grande, you’ll find fishing charters anywhere you turn. Head down to Whidden’s Marina or the Boca Grande Bayou where most of them are located, waiting to take you on a special fishing adventure!

Rules & Regulations

If you’re exploring this productive fishery on a charter boat, you don’t need to worry about a fishing license, as it comes included in the trip. Seeing as Tarpon fishing is done for the thrill and the sporting aspect of it, there are strict regulations on catching and releasing them. To make sure you’re fishing legally, book a trip with a reputable captain, and he’ll update you on all other bag and size limits.

Based on 27943 reviews by FishingBooker anglers

January

This is a very nice time to be fishing the backcountry because the fish have started moving into the warmer waters in earnest.

February

Snook and Redfish inhabit many of the same areas this time of year, and poling along the flats can be especially rewarding.

March

By the end of March, the water temperature should warm up to around 75–80°F. This means better bait, as well as more game fish.

April

The start of the Silver King season! Thousands upon thousands of Tarpon migrate to these waters to breed, and some will stay through November.

May

Probably the best time to be fly fishing during the entire year. Fly fishing for Tarpon is no small feat, so make sure to have a captain who knows his stuff.

June

Things may vary from year to year, but June is usually the peak of Silver King season. The Boca Grande Pass is absolutely packed with anglers having fun.

July

The weather starts being hot and humid, and it’s a good idea to go a bit further out to bottom fish at the reefs and wrecks.

August

While this is a great time to catch plenty of fish, it’s also incredibly hot. Probably the best time for Snook during the entire year.

September

Some may think it’s too late to be fishing for the Silver King, but they are sorely mistaken. Waters around the pass are great, and it’s cheaper now. 

October

Around the start of the month, the tides start getting lower and lower, making for a great chance to do some sight fishing for Cobia.

November

November is usually when winter starts in earnest, but that doesn’t seem to bother the Redfish one bit, which is great as Snook start moving out.

December

At this time of year, shrimp is your live bait of choice, and you can catch some big and delicious Pompano with it before the end of the year.

Go with a captain. Be prepared for rain, sun, wind and possibly rough conditions. It is outdoor activity on the water. It is a roller coaster ride, enjoy the adventure.

We had a blast, it was fun and entertaining. Everything went smoothly, Captain arrived on time, boat top notch and the weather was perfect, hot but not that sunny. We tried different spots and we caught some fishies ๐Ÿ . All in all I would recommend the charter for sure and definitely will go back in the future, probably in May for Tarpon.

We had a great time inshore fishing catching snook. My wife and 10 year old daughter had never fished in the ocean so we didnโ€™t want to go too far from shore in case gulf waters were rough. I didnโ€™t want to chance any of us getting sea sick. Captain Lou accommodated all our requests and still put us on a fun 4 hour fish inshore.

Meet at the Pink Elephant & short ride to the channel. First time fishing there. Outstanding Captain, crew, boat, & equipment. High end rods & reels worked very well for fighting the large Tarpon we hooked up in the pass. We eventually got a 130 pound Tarpon to the beach and fought another one for a good time. My sonโ€™s and I had a great day. We look forward to booking another trip! Thank you Captain Lou & Son!

You will not find a better or more experienced captain at Boca Grande. We fished two days with captain Phil on the 10 hour trips. Boat was in great condition, mate (Tim) extremely helpful, and the fishing was awesome! We will fish with Captain Phil and his counter part captain Jeff again that is for sure. Thank you both for making our trip so enjoyable. Steve from Las Vegas

Although the fish didnโ€™t bite it wasnโ€™t that Captain Mike didnโ€™t try. Nice smooth riding boat that kept 4 fishermen comfortable. If the fish wasnโ€™t biting captain Mike was fast to move to different spot. He was knowledgeable and fun to be around.
