As the sun breaks upon the horizon anticipation builds for anglers in Southwest Florida. The area's oceans are brimming with life year-round with the warmer temperatures drawing in large game fish to the region. For those who've been waiting to bring in the next big catch - you're in luck - Southwest Florida is the perfect place to cast a line.
Among the popular game fish is their famous Tarpon. Once hooked, these fish put up a stubborn and spectacular fight, often leaping up to 10 feet out of the water. And, at the end of May teams from far and near will be competing in a
Tarpon Tournament that has been a local tradition for the past 35 years!
With hundreds of miles of waterways in the area there are opportunities to catch Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack and more fish. So, pack up your gear and get ready for a thrilling fishing trip in Southwest Florida!
