About Your Trip

On this awesome trip, you'll go aboard Captain Lou's 30' Conch center console to chase down Tarpon, the premier Florida inshore sportfish and heavyweight king!

These fish are big, beautiful, and known worldwide for their ferocious fighting abilities and acrobatic leaps! Commonly known as the "Silver King", these fish are the top predators in their inshore habitat, and hooking one is the experience of a lifetime.

On this trip, you'll be fishing in the relatively shallow, inshore water where Tarpon like to swim. Tarpon migrate seasonally, and you'll be looking for these moving fish as they "push up" towards the beach. Once you spot them, you'll be able to cast directly to these fish, throwing baits and lures depending on the conditions and your preferences. Once you get a bite, you'll be in for the fight of your life! Fighting Tarpon is a balancing act between bringing the fish in hard, and not getting snapped off. Captain Lou will offer his expertise to help you finish the fight as quickly as possible.

Captain Lou's Conch center console is a purpose-built fishing vessel that will keep you comfortable all day. Plus, with a full suite of fishing equipment and tech, you'll be in a perfect spot for a successful trip, whether you're looking for big numbers, big trophies, or both! This boat also packs a punch, with twin Mercury 600s riding the transom!

Whether you're an experienced angler or a first-time fisherman, this charter fishing trip with Captain Lou is an adventure you won't soon forget. With breathtaking scenery, top-notch fishing, and a skilled captain to guide you every step of the way, you're in for an unforgettable day on the water. Book your trip now and get ready to make some epic memories on the high seas in Bokeelia, FL!

Great day on the water with an awesome captain. Immaculate boat and equipment. We didn’t land any tarpan but we hooked a few and saw many. Would highly recommend this charter!
