One of the best kept secrets in Southwest Florida is how great the Tarpon Fishing is in Upper Charlotte Harbor during the summer months. The secret is getting out though as many guides are now traveling from as far as Tampa Bay, Orlando, Naples and other areas of Florida just to fish Charlotte Harbor for the magnificent Silver King. As a native to Charlotte Harbor, Capt. Robert has been fishing this area for Tarpon for over 10 years and is known by many as the
"Tarponman".
Capt. Robert offers several types of Tarpon Fishing in this area:
Upper Charlotte Harbor & River Tarpon Fishing: Fish the darkened waters of Charlotte Harbor, Peace River or Myakka River for Tarpon Ranging in size from 40-150 lbs. Live Bait, pass crabs or artificial baits offer a variety of fishing methods. Sight fishing for rolling Tarpon or drifting live baits through schools of roaming fish are the best bets. The months May through September are traditionally the best months for this type of fishing.
Light Tackle Tarpon Fishing: Fishing around bridges & local canal systems using light tackle for Tarpon ranging in size from 10-40 lbs. These frisky and fun to catch juvenile Tarpon are best taken on live or artificial baits using light weight tackle. The months May through September are traditionally the best months for this type of fishing.
Beach Tarpon Fishing: Sight fish the beaches of the Gulf of Mexico for rolling and "daisy chaining" Tarpon using live bait, pass crabs or artificial baits. Average size ranges from 60-150 lbs. The opportunity for this type of fishing is short and the month of May is traditionally the best month.
Since it involves the magnificent "Silver King" each of the above types of fishing is unique and exciting and will certainly challenge anyone¹s angling skills.
