The Tarpon Bite is Hot in St Pete Beach, FL

St Pete Beach Tarpon Fishing

Table of Contents

It’s nearly August and that means the Tarpon bite is still hot in St Pete Beach! Many clients have been out on the boat recently, experiencing the thrill of Tarpon fishing – some say it’s as good as Boca Grande and without the added pressure of a flood of boats all trying to catch the same fish. We recommend booking a Tarpon fishing charter in St Pete Beach as soon as possible, as these tides don’t last all month.

With the water crystal clear, the Tarpon in St Pete Beach are thick in the passes. We’ve noticed them swimming in large spread-out schools that stretch up to a mile long! All we have to do is drift right in the middle. It’s a great sight, with fish swimming all around. Where you cast is up to you! That’s the challenge. You cast off to the port side, and maybe you’ll see the fish shoot past the other side. Don’t sweat it though, head out with us and we guarantee you’ll get a catch.
