Tarpon season is in full swing here in Boca Grande, and June is always one of the best months to chase the Silver King. The fish are here in good numbers, and they’ve been aggressive and ready to eat.
We’ve been seeing plenty of opportunities and some incredible battles on the water. If a tarpon has been on your bucket list, now is the time to make it happen.
I still have a few dates available in June. Reach out to book your trip and experience one of Florida’s most exciting fisheries before the season slips away.

Been out everyday. Now is the time for huge snook. Sharks, Goliath grouper and tarpon are easy to catch right now. The bite will stay that way for a while.

Come catch some giant Tarpon. The bite is hot. Here are some pics to let you know how good the action is, catching some 83 inch Tarpon, beautiful giants.

Current Naples fishing report has the waters warming up into the mid 80s, the tarpon eating on the beaches, the reds and snapper eating in the magroves, and the snook getting packed in the passes for the summer spawn!
Each trip we have been on in the last few weeks has had been loaded with excitement and the chances to hook and catch the trophy of a lifetime.
The bait has shifted to mainly freshly netted pilchards, but everything is still eating shrimp.

In fact, if it's dinner you're after, and live well full of live shrimp will all but guarantee a fresh load of mangrove snapper at the cleaning table!
There's been lots of big redfish in the backcountry mangroves...some are too big to keep, but most are in the upper slot (size range we are allowed to keep 18-27") and they have been e as ting pilchards, cut chunks of mullet, and shrimp.
Their cousins, the black drum have been eating shrimp, pn the incoming tides, and crashing the snapper party.
This is the ti.e of year that offers the chance to get the snook of a lifetime...the big snook are active, hungry, and eating pilchards as they prepare for the very spawning season that starts in June. They can range from small ones in the low 20s, to mid 40 inch monsters that rip drags, and totally test our nerves and skills as they use every piece of structure in the area to break the line, as they try to break our hearts.
The giant tarpon are all over the way morning beaches, back bays, and passes. The big sharks are in the back bays, and off the beaches, and both are ready to test your strength and resolve
There are big drum in big schools up to 100s of them. You can find them in 4ft of water and sight cast them. Now this time of year. We saw a school today kicking up mud look for crabs and were marking them on side scan on the lowrance but it was 15ft deep with current so harder to get a bait directly in front of them.
Also Goliath grouper from end of January. The water behind the people was so calm that was 7 miles offshore at a whopping 11ft deep

Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!
Absolutely a blast. Great group, great coordination, and a genuinely fun evening from start to finish.
It took some getting used to at first, since you basically have to identify the animals by color alone, but once you get the hang of it, it clicks fast and makes the whole thing even more interesting.
Everything was well organized and the communication was spot on. I would do this again anytime. Highly recommended!
Damn Great Trip ! Damn Great Capt.! Capt Paul was very Professional and Super friendly. His knowledge of the water ways and the marine life was amazing. He lead us to the fish and we caught a bunch. Had a great time! Capt Paul really helpful with my grandson and definitely made his trip unforgettable! Thanks so much! 😁👍
I would give more stars if I could. Logan was a great guide and very knowledgeable about hunting SWFL. Kona was a great dog and one of the best parts of the trip was watching her retrieve the iguanas. When we do another iguana hunting trip we will definitely choose Logan as our guide!
