A limited specialty trip targeting big tarpon beyond the traditional migration, built around local knowledge and a fishery few anglers ever experience.
Most anglers know tarpon fishing for the spring and summer migration, but the story doesn’t always end when the main schools move on. Large tarpon can remain well beyond the traditional season, creating a completely different opportunity for anglers willing to go looking for them.
This is a specialized trip built around years of local knowledge and a fishery we intentionally keep quiet. We don’t publish the location or the techniques that make it productive. Some things are better learned on the water, and some fisheries are worth protecting.
Late-season opportunities typically run from July through December and can sometimes stretch even later. Every season is different, but when these fish settle in, it’s a chance to experience big Florida tarpon long after most anglers have stopped looking.

Late-season tarpon fishing is different from the spring migration. The fish are no longer moving through in massive numbers, and finding them takes experience, patience, and an understanding of where these big fish settle as the season changes.
We intentionally keep the location and techniques behind this fishery private. It’s a special opportunity that has remained productive because relatively few people know about it, and we intend to keep it that way. Come fish it with us, enjoy the experience, and help us protect something worth keeping quiet.
We typically offer these trips from July through December. In some years, the fish can remain even later depending on weather and water conditions
We intentionally do not publish the location of this fishery. Guests receive the information they need directly from the captain before their trip..
This trip targets tarpon that remain after the main migration begins moving on. It requires a longer run, specialized local knowledge, and a different approach than our traditional Sarasota tarpon trips.
Plan on 8 hours or more. Travel time and fishing conditions can make this a longer day than our standard charters, so we recommend keeping your schedule flexible.
No charter can guarantee a tarpon. These are wild fish, and conditions and fish movement change from day to day. Your captain will use his experience and knowledge of this fishery to give you the best opportunity possible.
Because we want to keep this fishery healthy and uncrowded. The location and techniques have been passed down through local knowledge, and protecting those details helps preserve the experience for years to come.
A different tarpon season is waiting.
