TARPON FISHING (APRIL-JUNE)
No matter what age or experience level you are, Tarpon fishing with Captain Dave in Tampa Bay or Boca Grande is an experience of a lifetime. Nowhere else in the world can you find a fishery like Boca Grande Pass! There is a reason it’s referred to as the Tarpon Capital of the world. Every year hundreds of thousands of tarpon congregate in the pass and the surrounding beaches. Boca Grande has been the gathering point for these massive schools of fish due to the abundance of food; Tarpon come in great numbers in advance of their yearly spawn.
The action in the pass is unlike anything you have ever experienced. It’s not uncommon to have multiple fish biting each fisherman's line at once. Your fishing adventure will be exciting and intensified seeing the Tarpon rolling and jumping throughout your expedition.
There isn’t anywhere else you could go and experience the big game fish
of the inshore world quite like Boca Grande.

NEARSHORE FISHING
Nearshore fishing charters are a great opportunity for you to experience offshore fishing while still being in sight of land. Fortunately, the abundance of hard bottom areas and wrecks off the coast of Tampa Bay and St. Petersburg provide a great opportunity for catching a variety of fish like, Tripletail, Cobia, Grouper, Snapper, Kingfish, Permit, and so much more. Due to the increased amount of run time to areas, Nearshore trips are only available in 6 and 8 hour trips.
