Winter Flats Fishing "The Essence of Tarpon Fishing" Essay
|
I'm Capt. Scott Hughes. Come make a memory with a exciting fishing trip in Southwest Florida. I specialize in light tackle saltwater, and fly fishing from the backcountry of Charlotte Harbor to flats of Pine Island Sound and Boca Grande. All of my backcountry 4,6 or 8hr flats charters and 12hr all-day Tarpon Charters are No Fish, No Pay! If you do not catch a game fish (or jump a tarpon on all-day trip) on your charter then there is no charge for the trip. I have pick-up locations at Burnt Store Marina, Pine Island, Punta Gorda and Boca Grande. I like to target big fish. During warm months, tarpon, sharks, snook, redfish, cobia, black drum, king mackerel and big jacks are the main species sought after. Most of the winter months are devoted to redfish, trout, snook and grouper. Whether your a beginner or a seasoned pro, I am an instructional guide who will provide the knowledge and techniques needed for a successful and enjoyable fishing trip. No Fish, No Pay!

This tarpon was caught during a cold front in April.
Snook and tarpon fishing in Charlotte Harbor
This tarpon is the typical catch for late summer "Blackwater" tarpon fishing here in Southwest Florida. My tarpon fishing for this season ended on October 31st. Right now I am catching redfish, speckled trout and flounder on the flats of Pine Island Sound and Charlotte Harbor. (updated 2-2-15). Check out the Fishing Report for more details.
A nice Tarpon caught in Boca Grande Pass in July. Check out these tarpon fishing photos customers sent me from the 2013 fishing season.
This is what tarpon angler dream about. Flat calm waters as the sun rises on the eastern shore of Charlotte Harbor. This was the last tarpon charter that i had that season. It was the third week of October.
This picture is over 10years old but I just received it from my customer this past season. If I remember correctly, we caught this tarpon on a crab while sight fishing on the beach of Cayo Costa to the south of Boca Grande Pass. The school had already swam past the boat and the angler made a "hail Mary" cast to the last fish and it ate the crab. We landed the tarpon right where we took this photo.

Sight fishing for tarpon on the beaches of Cayo Costa State Park Make a Memory! Go on a Southwest Florida Tarpon Charter in 2010.
*Try some of our late "off season" redfish and snook fishing. I recommend Charlotte Harbor for excellent snook fishing and Pine Island for bull redfish. Excellent fishing with reasonable rates for trips and lodging! July-December. * Or try some sight fishing on the flats of Pine Island Sound. We fish out of a shallow daft poling skiff for redfish, trout and sharks with very light tackle. Best sight fishing is November through February. *If you can't fit in a tarpon fishing trip this spring don't forget that some of the best tarpon fishing of the year is July through the end of September and many times October through early November is good also. As an added bonus, the lodging rates are the lowest of the year! Captain's Profile What we Catch! Testimonials Equipment and sponsors FAQ Photo Album's What we Catch!
