What are Boca Grande Fishing Charters known for?
Boca Grande is know as the tarpon capital of the world! Every year thousands of tarpon make their annual migration up the coast of Florida as the waters warm in the Gulf of Mexico. They stop in Boca Grande Pass and Charlotte Harbor for 3 months for their annual spawning.
This creates a very unique and plentiful tarpon fishery for those 3 months on our Boca Grande fishing charters. Thousands of fish can be seen daily rolling in various parts of the harbor in pods that number in the thousands. These tarpon can be targeted with great confidence in the pass, in the harbor & on the beaches. Come join us on a Boca Grande tarpon fishing trip for the fishing adventure of a lifetime!
What other species will we catch on our Boca Grande Fishing Charter?
Snook, trout & redfish are the most popular and plentiful fish that we target. They are the gamefish of our area and Captain Hutch guarantees gamefish on every charter or your money back. Other species that can be caught - mackerel, pompano, jack, ladyfish, cobia
All of these species are targeted with great confidence throughout the entire year. They provide fun for all ages and skill levels.
Bait & Tackle
Light spinning tackle with artificial , live, or cut bait.
Boca Grande fishing charters require tackle that not only helps you hook the fish but also help you to successfully land your catch. Quantum reels matched with custom Sewell rods are up to the task and are the best in the industry. They are spooled with 10-20lb Power Pro braid & Seaguar flourocarbon leader to make the the ultimate inshore light tackle rigs.
