Fort Myers Tarpon Charters
Staying in Fort Myers and looking to fish for tarpon? Capt. Andy Boyette has guided Southwest Florida anglers since 1998 and can discuss a trip based on your dates and an available meeting location.
Fishing from the Fort Myers area
Tarpon begin appearing in Southwest Florida waters in spring. Early-season fishing may involve fish moving through the back bays and coastal waters, while later trips can center on Boca Grande and Charlotte Harbor when that is where the fishing plan leads. Capt. Andy decides the approach from current conditions rather than promising a particular spot.
If you are staying in Fort Myers, contact him before arranging transportation. His base is El Jobean and pickup is limited to selected locations; a Fort Myers pickup is not guaranteed. He will help you understand the meeting point and expected travel plan.
A trip built for your group
Choose from six-, eight- and ten-hour tarpon options depending on availability. Trips take up to four anglers. The boat carries rods, reels, bait, tackle, fishing-license coverage, ice and a cooler. Bring food, drinks, polarized sunglasses and sun protection.
The thrill of a tarpon is its long run and jump, but wild fish do not follow a schedule. Capt. Andy gives first-time and experienced anglers instruction and a fishing plan suited to the conditions.
When should you fish?
Capt. Andy targets tarpon from April through October. Stronger flow around full and new moons can change the presentation in late spring and summer, but good fishing can happen between those tides as well. Call with your dates and he can explain the options.
