Florida is the Tarpon Fishing Capital of the world. Tarpon are everywhere in Florida: back waters, estuaries, mangroves and flats. Juvenile Tarpon eat insects and smaller fishes, while the adults are strictly carnivores- eating their prey in one giant gulp and start pulling on your line just as fast!

You’ll know when you have one of these silver beasts on the end of your line. They are known for their fighting savvy and exceptional leaping and flipping. However, tarpon’s are boney and not edible, so we practice “catch and release” policies.

This means your trophy Tarpon will live to fight another day, but you’ll have a thrilling adventure to talk about for a lifetime. If you want a real challenge with a large, aggressive tarpon, our captains will show you the way!

Numerous species of shark use the waters we fish in as their hatchery. You can find bonnethead shark, black tip shark and even bull shark moving in and out of of the bay through the passages from the gulf.

The most common being the bonnethead shark, a close relative to the hammerhead, but only growing up to about 3 feet, but don’t let their size fool you. They will readily take a live bait and put a hurting on any angler.

There are 4 species of snook in Florida, but we mainly target the “common snook”, which is as the name implies the most common and also the largest of the snooks.

January and February are good months for fishing snook, but the action really starts to heat up in March, and reaches it’s peak in April , running strong right through late October as the waters start to cool down.

Snook season closes from May 1st until September 1, and all snook must be released. The snook bite tapers off in November and December.

The redfish, or red drum, are at home among the grass flats, mangoves and oyster beds in the warm waters. Redfish are a hard hitting, fast pulling sportfish known for some spectacular runs.

Redfish can be seen tailing year round, with the hottest action coming in September, October and December as the water cools off. Redfish fishing is still a great bet during the cooler months between December and April, then drops off a little during the hot summer months of May, June and July.

These battle hardened warriors will test the medal of any angler on light tackle.

Sea Trout, or spotted drum, are one the easiest species to target and and perfect for beginner anglers or any angler that wants to catch alot of fish. Favored for it’s willingness to strike both live baits and lures, sea trout are also excellent table fare. Drifting across the grass flats with offerings of shrimp or pinfish will entice the school to eat. Once the school starts to eat, the bite can last an hour or more.

Sea trout are always a popular winter species around Bonita Springs area. The winter months of January, February and March are great for trout and remain excellent in early spring. Trout fishing slows down somewhat during the summer heat and picks back up in late fall, geting stronger in November & December.
