Sliprock Charters: Boca Grande Tarpon Fishing

Whether you want to fish the flats, hit the reefs and wrecks, or fight the venerable Tarpon, Sliprock Charters has you covered. Based out of Charlotte Harbor you’ll explore a range of fishing grounds. From the local bays to the heart of the Gulf, they offer everything you could possibly want.

Let Captain Phil Rugari show you these productive waters. A Florida native, he grew up fishing both coasts, before spending his whole life honing his fishing skills. A sponsored fishing guide, he promises to take you on a thrilling, safe trip, reeling in plenty of exciting fish.

Step aboard his 25’ Tidewater center console and discover a world of fishing. Powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine, you’ll whizz off to the productive spots at speeds of up to 45 knots. On the skinny waters, the Minn Kota wireless trolling motor will kick into action, keeping you afloat and helping you creep up on your target fish.

The fish will be no match for you as you utilize the range of Shimano gear on board. Use light tackle to maximize your fishing experience, or fill the boat a little easier by fishing with heavy tackle. You’ll find a full live bait well on board, so get ready for a productive day on the water.

Along the inshore waters, test your skills against Redfish, Snook and Sea Trout. Along with Tarpon during the Tarpon run from Late April through July.

Everything you need is waiting on board. All you need to do is bring plenty of snacks and drinks to fill the captain’s Yeti 65 cooler, and settle in for a thrilling day’s fishing. Let Sliprock Charters show you the best fishing western Florida has to offer.

I grew up in FL fishing both coasts. Lived in many states and have had the opportunity to fish in many great places our country has to offer. Moved back to FL a few years ago and have been fortunate enough to have honed my skills as a salt water angler who is now sponsored by Humminbird and Minn Kota along with many other companies in the industry. Fishing is my #1 passion and I know you will have a great time on my boat. I offer a safe, clean charter and I will put you on FISH!
