About Your Trip

Step into one of the most exciting fisheries in the world and take your shot at the “Silver King.” These trips are all about targeting tarpon—one of the most powerful and acrobatic fish you can hook into.

Tarpon are known for their explosive strikes, high-flying jumps, and long, drag-screaming runs. Hooking one is unforgettable—landing one is an accomplishment you won’t forget.

The Experience

You’ll fish along the beaches and passes of Southwest Florida, including areas around Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, Cayo Costa, and the legendary Boca Grande Pass.

These trips are highly seasonal and timed around tarpon migration patterns, tides, and conditions. The approach may vary from day to day, but the focus is always on putting you in the best position to get a shot at these fish.

What Sets It Apart

Tarpon fishing is a visual, high-adrenaline experience. From seeing fish roll on the surface to watching them explode on a bait, every moment builds toward that one shot. When it all comes together, it’s one of the most rewarding catches in fishing.

Good to Know

Tarpon season typically runs from April through July. These trips are focused on catch-and-release and require patience, timing, and a bit of luck.

Be sure to bring sun protection, drinks, and anything you’d like for the day. And don’t worry—your captain will make sure you’ve got the footage to relive it after the trip.

If you’re looking to chase one of the most iconic gamefish in the world, this is the trip to do it.
