Charlotte Harbor tarpon fishing with a specialist.
Capt. Andy Boyette is a highly sought-after tarpon fishing guide in Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande and surrounding waters. He specializes in tarpon and fishes for them exclusively from April through October. Charlotte Harbor’s deeper water and its connections to the passes and coast are an important part of his tarpon charter area.
Shallow habitat and deeper tarpon water
Tarpon use the harbor’s deeper water during the season, and the fishing plan changes with fish movement and daily conditions. Outside Capt. Andy’s April–October tarpon schedule, ask about inshore trips and other seasonal species.
Plan from the surrounding communities
Guests visit the harbor from Burnt Store Marina, Cape Coral, Matlacha, Pine Island, Placida, Boca Grande and Englewood. Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte are also part of the service area. Tell the captain where you are staying so the meeting point and fishing plan can be coordinated.
