Tarpon jumping off Captiva.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tarpon are on the move off Captiva and in Pine Island Sound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The tarpon are making their annual migration to Boca Grande Pass.<\/p>\n

As water temperatures rise, a lot of the\u00a0tarpon move into Boca Grande Pass\u00a0to fatten up on the\u00a0shrimp and crab migrations that occur in late May and June.<\/p>\n

The tarpon feed into July and then head offshore to give birth to their live larva and don’t return until October.<\/p>\n

The best times to fish Boca Grande Pass are first thing in the morning, on the tide change, and on the late evening full moon outgoing tides.<\/p>\n
