3/4 Day

Tarpon Season — Special Pricing

From April through August the tarpon tunnel between Fort Myers and Boca Grande lights up, and Flats Hound goes hunting the Silver King. These trips are timed to tides and bait runs, so pricing is set per trip. Call (239) 994-4027 and ask about tarpon dates — they fill up fast.

What's a deposit? What about weather?

Weather in Southwest Florida changes by the hour. If your captain calls a trip for safety, you reschedule or get your deposit back — no games. See What to Expect for the full rundown.
