Tarpon Capital of the World, and So Much More

When anglers dream of Boca Grande, they picture silver kings exploding out of the water, and for good reason. Boca Grande Pass is world famous for tarpon, drawing anglers from around the globe during the migration. But the fishing here isn’t just about May and June. It’s a year round hotspot.

Just outside the Pass, miles of beaches, grass flats and mangrove shorelines stretch out, loaded with redfish, snook, cobia and more. Capt. Glenn Sharp knows this zone better than most and builds each trip around the tides, the bite and your goals.
