Welcome to the Tarpon Capital of the World

When anglers talk about fishing Tampa Bay, one species always takes center stage: Tarpon. Known as the “Silver King,” Tarpon fishing in Tampa Bay is world-renowned, attracting anglers from across the globe to experience this legendary fishery.

Why Tampa Bay Is a Tarpon Hotspot

The unique estuaries, tidal flows, and strategic location of Tampa Bay make it the epicenter of Florida’s largest Tarpon migration during the spring and summer months. Each year, countless Tarpon migrate north to the bay, providing incredible fishing opportunities and the chance to check this iconic species off your angling bucket list.

Tarpon Facts:

  • Sizes range from 50 to 200 pounds.
  • They combine the speed of a bonefish, the acrobatics of a sailfish, and the power of a marlin.
  • Tarpon fishing is strictly Catch and Release, preserving the fishery for future generations.

There’s nothing quite like the thrill of watching a triple-digit Tarpon explode on your bait just feet from the boat, followed by breathtaking leaps and drag-screaming runs. It’s a fishing experience that leaves even seasoned anglers “weak in the knees.”

Get on the boat with Captain Kyle and catch yourself a Tarpon! What an awesome trip!!
Both Capt. Kyle and first mate Joey were very cool guys to hang out with. We had great conversation on the boat and they made the whole charter enjoyable, even on the down time. Kyle was always sharing his knowledge about Tarpon fishing which added to the experience, too. I highly recommend Native Sport Fishing.
Thanks again for helping me catch my first Tarpon! I’ll let you know when we will be back!
