Fort Myers Tarpon Fishing Report May 12th, 2019

by Capt. Mark | May 12, 2019

Tarpon season 2019 is here!!!

The tarpon are pouring in. There are tarpon in the sound, along the beaches and up in the harbor. Their numbers are increasing every day.

April-August is the peak season in the Boca Grande/Charlotte Harbor area. I still have a few openings in June and July. June 9th, 14th and 16th are still open.

With the consistent weather this past fall the tarpon fishing in the Everglades was on fire. I am already booking dates for our fall in the Everglades. We will be out of Flamingo late September and all of October fishing for tarpon in the wilderness of the Florida Everglades. For more information check out: Gladestarpon.com

If you haven’t seen our video collaboration with Humminbird/Minn Kota watch it here!!!

Till next time,
