trip description for Tarpon Fishing Fort Myers in Fort Myers

Our Fort Myers tarpon fishing charters are dedicated to only fishing for the silver king! Captain’s favorite time of year. If you can make it here from March to July, it’s as world-class as world-class tarpon fishing gets. This charter should be on every serious angler’s bucket list These tarpon do amazing, acrobatic flips and jumps and show off their beautiful silver scales as they relentlessly try to shake your hooks throughout the fight – which makes catching a tarpon a very difficult and rewarding task. Tarpon near Fort Myers can be over 200 pounds and we’re commonly hooking up with 5+ fish per trip. Tarpon fishing at night in Southwest Florida is best during tarpon season from March – August, but it’s also a great year-round bite where you can hook tarpon almost any day of the year! At night the tarpon can be extremely active and feed really well. Floating big live baits can generate incredible surface strikes right behind the boat. We also like to target tarpon with artificial presentations & dead baiting the bottom. Our tarpon fishing charters start out of Sanibel/Fort Myers Beach area with convenient waterfront pickups also available. We can also fish out of Boca Grande. Captain Jack has poured 15 years of passion into these waters and loves putting his clients on fish! It’s hard to find someone with a better handle on the Fort Myers area tarpon migrations and feeding patterns than Captain Jack. Read More

    If I could give six stars I would. I probably couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience saltwater fishing. James is clearly passionate about the waters and his knowledge was shown with every question we had answered. James was beyond patient, professional, and cares about his clients’ time. James knew where the action was and put us on some fish. I had an excellent time catching multiple species. Overall, my buddy and I felt welcomed and enjoyed hanging out with James and his mate Joe. Solid dudes. Would recommend booking and I will book again when I’m back in the area. Future charters have some big shoes to fill!

    The fishing charter with Captain Phil was the highlight of our trip to Florida this year! Phil and his first mate were very helpful and friendly throughout our 4 hrs trip. They made sure my 9 year old son had the best spot on the boat and were eager to help him land a few fish. Captain Phil helped us land a couple big fish and filleted our Cobia which gave us some tasty supper. We would definitely use Captain Phil again.
