Tarpon Fishing Guide Boca Grande and the surrounding areas has become so popular it is hard to fathom. It is that time of year again when the tarpon start to show in places like the shallow waters of Foster Bay near North Captiva to Little Gasparilla Pass and all along the beaches. Of course let us not forget the infamous Boca Grande Pass, the place always filled with controversy. Personally I like to stay away from the crowds and fish the back country areas far from other boaters. I will occasionally head to the beach and with certain customers toss a crab (Crab below photo) at a passing Tarpon Pod. It really is all in what the customer wants.
Tarpon Fishing Boca Grande On The Fly
When Tarpon Fishing on the Fly the angler usually is casting at passing tarpon attempting to get a tiny fly inches away from the giant black eyeball of a tarpon. Dangling a chocolate bar in front of a child and teasing him or her with it until they hopefully decide to eat. Hyperbole of course but you get the point. It’s tricky, frustrating and rewarding all at the same time.
