Tarpon season 2020 is here!!!

Captain Mark Bennett with a huge tarponThousands of tarpon have arrived in our area.  The yearly gathering has begun.

There are tarpon along the beaches, passes and back bays.

April-August is the peak of the tarpon migration in the Boca Grande/Charlotte Harbor area.  I still have a few openings this season.  May 11th, 12th, 19th, 24th and 25th.  June 9th, 12th, 17th and 18th are still open.  I have more openings later in the season.

I will be back down this fall fishing the Florida Everglades.  With the mild weather and the lack of cold fronts, just like last fall, the fishing was exceptional.  Every day we had multiple opportunities.  Only two days last fall we didn’t have a tarpon boatside for a photo session.  With tarpon fishing those numbers are unbelievable.  Check out my Facebook page and Instagram to see the photos and videos from the trip.

Because of the incredibly long days when I am fishing down there I waited till now to start posting the photos from this past month.  Fall 2020 I will be fishing the Everglades out of Flamingo/upper Keys September and October.  If you like to fish with spinning rods or fly this is a true tarpon fishing adventure you will never forget.  For more information check out:Gladestarpon.com

Till next time,
