About Your Trip

Are you ready for a fish that will test your strength, stamina, and fishing skills? If you can handle the challenge, the “Silver King” is the fish for you.

These majestic Tarpon are one of the most sought-after game fish in the world, and Boca Grande AKA "The Tarpon Capital of The World" is a pretty darn good place to catch 'em. Tarpon are a migrating species so in the late spring and summer months they are everywhere around Englewood beach! This mammoth migrates up and down the coast filling stopping to fill up at Boca Grande Pass. The largest natural inlet on the gulf of Mexico, the Boca Grande pass can hold 10's of thousands of Tarpon on any given day. And they're all eating! These fish can be caught elsewhere as well from the areas backcountry lagoons to along the beaches. Luckily you'll have Captain Tim to tell you which areas are working and take you to the hottest spots!

Tarpon are acrobats of the ocean and put on a spectacular show in the air! Whether you’re using rod and reel or fly fishing, these sometimes 100 plus pound fish love to fight hard. Tides, weather, and moon phases play an essential factor in a Tarpon’s behavior, but these kings are always hungry, biting on both live and artificial bait. Bring your camera because catching a tarpon is a stunning experience that you will want to capture. These fascinating sport fish are catch and release. It only takes one battle with these prehistoric creatures to become completely mesmerized, and you’ll be longing to catch more!

My son and I had a great time fishing with Captain Tim. He's a great guy to fish with and was a lot of fun to fish with. While we caught many fish, it would have been better if the bigger ones cooperated.

We had a great time with Captain Tim. He is a seasoned guide that knows the area waters and knows where the fish are.
He took the time to make sure my kids were casting properly and made sure they were never out of bait. We all enjoyed the trip and caught a lot of fish.
