Tarpon Fishing Near Port Charlotte
Each spring and early summer, the waters near Port Charlotte come alive as massive Tarpon migrate through Charlotte Harbor toward Boca Grande Pass. This world-famous fishery is driven by seasonal Hill Tides, when crabs flush from the harbor into the Gulf — triggering explosive Tarpon feeding behavior.
Fishing near Port Charlotte places you in perfect position to intercept these Silver Kings as they stage and move south.
