THE SILVER KING
One fish.
A whole new obsession.
Tarpon fishing with Capt. Scott Hughes in Charlotte Harbor, Boca Grande, and Southwest Florida.
THE FISH. THE FIGHT. THE MEMORY.
There’s nothing quite
like a tarpon.
A sudden strike. A silver flash. A fish completely airborne. Tarpon turn a fishing trip into something you’ll talk about long after you leave the dock.
Scott specializes in tarpon fishing and chooses the approach around the fish and the day’s conditions. Live bait, artificial lures, and fly fishing all have their place.
WHEN TO GO
Spring through fall.
Tarpon are a focus from late March into October. April, May, and June are popular, while late summer can bring memorable fishing in Charlotte Harbor.
HOW WE FISH
Built around the bite.
Tides, weather, and fish movement shape each trip. Ask Scott which trip length and departure time fit your dates and goals.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
Plan ahead.
Choose a 6-hour or 8-hour tarpon trip for 1–3 anglers. Reserve spring dates well in advance and confirm availability and any fishing-guarantee terms with Scott.
A RESPECT FOR THE FISH
The release is part
of the story.
Scott’s approach emphasizes reviving and releasing tarpon beside the boat. Photos in the water capture the moment while keeping the fish’s well-being in mind.
YOUR NEXT DAY ON THE WATER
Let’s make a memory.
Tell Capt. Scott what you want to catch and when you’ll be in Southwest Florida.
