The bite is on fire in charlotte harbor, the river tarpon have moved down into the harbor and the gulf fish have moved in too. Snook are done spawning and chewing hard! Redfish will be schooling up soon, the opportunities are endless

As we approach late fall we will enter what is my favorite time to target tarpon with a fly rod, big and small!

It's hot and it's that time of year were we have to dodge a few storms but the bites still great and there are plenty of fish to be caught. Getting close to the fall fishing bite and the reds should be schooling up soon

Fishing has been good before it gets to hot once the afternoon hits the fish have been a little slower so if a trip is to be booked I'd definitely recommend a morning or night trip

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.

    Trip: Flats And Backcountry Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great experience. Unfortunately the Tarpon refused to bite apparently due to a weather change. Captain Randall is very knowledgeable and went above and beyond attempting to get a bite. Saw lots of fish and at least had the opportunity to reeled in a 8 foot Nurse shark. Can’t say enough about Captain Randall’s knowledge and experience. Would definitely recommend and book with him again.

    Trip: Anna Maria Tarpon Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Alex was a great guide, knowledgeable, patience, we found the tarpon and snook but we just couldn't get them to bite. Some days you're the hammer some days you're the nail. Definitely be back again.
