SEASONAL FISHING NOTES

Seasonal tarpon, snook and redfish fishing.

The fishing changes with weather, water conditions and fish movement. For a current report and advice for your exact dates, call Capt. Andy at 941-769-1582.

Use these seasonal notes to understand local fishing patterns. Capt. Andy specializes in tarpon in Boca Grande, Charlotte Harbor and surrounding waters, fishing exclusively for tarpon from April through October. Those trips book early. Snook, redfish and other charters are available outside those months; contact him for current conditions and availability.
