The rain and wind the past few weeks have limited the tarpon fishing, but it’s looking like the weather is going to settle down and we will be able to get back out in the water.

The last two weeks the tarpon fishing has been pretty slow in Boca Grande Pass due to the weather. But, tarpon season is still in full swing and once the winds lay down the tarpon will be biting. There have been tarpon in the beach if you are looking to sight fish a silver king.

The back bay fishing has been good, with lots of snook and trout being caught. There have also been plenty of sharks in the shallows along with ladyfish and jack cravalle.

Offshore fishing has been limited but reports of permit out on the nearshore wrecks have been the deal.

Come on down and enjoy our great Boca Grande fishing!
