Trip Summary

Tarpon season is red hot here in North/Central Florida. Launching at first light we head out to net some mullet and make our way out to the beach! Clearing Ponce Inlet, you never quite know what the ocean will offer up that day but you can guarantee it will be a blast. Tarpon are traveling along the beach and holding up at spots where we target them with live bait, lures, or flies. Fishing for tarpon on the beach comes with the likely opportunity to hook a massive kingfish as by-catch as well as run into schools of Spanish mackerel and Bonito. On recent trips, we are averaging 5 Tarpon hookups but on occasion, the action is non-stop. You will never hook a more exciting fish. Ranging from 40-140lbs. and jumping more than 6ft in the air between searing runs, it will be an experience you remember for life. The bite should stay hot until mid-September but spots are filling up! Book now to get your Silver King before the season is over! Fishing licenses included with Capt. Bach Charters.
