4 BOCA GRANDE Terry Smith Boca Grande is a small residential community on Gasparilla Island just a short 15 minutes south of Englewood, home to the World s Richest Tarpon Tournament. Boca Grande means BIG MOUTH in Spanish and came from the waterway at the southern tip of Cell: the island called Boca Grande Pass which is found along the Gulf of Mexico at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor. Boca Grande is a quiet island town, rich in history and is a permanent home for some but is traditionally an island getaway unspoiled by heavy commercialization. When not fishing for the famous Tarpon also known as Silver King, many other sport fish can be found such as snook, redfish, grouper, king fish, and trout in the backwaters of Charlotte Harbor, Gasparilla Sound, or just off shore in the Gulf of Mexico. Boca Grande also boasts its own golf course and is a short drive from several off-island golf courses. If fishing and golfing are not your things, you will surely find enjoyment in the miles of peaceful white sandy beaches, boutique shops in the quiet downtown district, or even a spa getaway right on the beach. Boca Grande is accessible by car via bridge and houses/condos range from $215,000 - $12,000,000. Median listing is priced at $1,150, The ISLANDS Tarpon Real Estate, Inc. and Tarpon Rental Services

Take long leisurely walks or travel by golf cart down these paths to explore the beauty of the island. The peaceful, uncrowded beach provides plenty of room for you to bathe in the sun all day, enjoy outstanding shelling, bird watching, swimming, playing with your children, and beautiful water views but best of all, the brilliant sunsets at the end of each perfect day. There is great fishing to be had in Placida Harbor for Snook, Trout, Redfish, Snapper and more, and in the world famous Boca Grande Pass you can try your hand at Tarpon fishing.

21 - FISHING REPORT - Welcome to a Sea of Dreams... By CAPTAIN ROB HILL We are here, for whatever reason we have arrived, in the land of sun and fun. While there are a myriad of possibilities that could have brought us here; weather, golf, family, witness protection program... whatever, I believe that there is one common thread, a dream if you will, that brings people to live in the sunshine state. Call it what you will... a whopper, a lunker, a good ole big un, catching a trophy fish is what we dream of in this land of plenty... and whether we actually pursue the dream or not, there is a lot to dream about. Florida has every type of fishing you could ever want. Blue marlin and tuna lurk the edges of the continental shelf, and that far offshore you could even spot a whale or other creature of the deep. Closer to shore we have the great duo of grouper and snapper. These two top everyone s list of fried, broiled, or blackened menu. One bite of a grouper sandwich and you will begin looking for a buddy with a sea worthy boat. Your eyes will glaze over as you imagine yourself filling coolers with your own personal freezer full of future grouper sandwiches. As we come to the shore we have a mix of great gamefish and more great food fish. Tarpon are in a class by themselves as far as exciting gamefish. They readily eat both bait and lure and do not require a large boat to catch them. In fact, people catch them from kayaks along the beach from time to time. Keep in mind that these fish far outweigh the kayak, well over a hundred pounds is common place. Imagine sending a picture of you with a trophy tarpon to the guys back at the mill. Then for emphasis, send them another picture of a bigger one the next day. That s right, saltwater in their wounds. Inshore fishing is a staple of fishermen in our area. You can fish for trout, redfish, and flounder on the windiest day of the year. Again, no large specialized boat or tackle is required... the only thing you really need is motivation. The fish are there, all they are waiting on is you! 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed Specializing in: Air Conditioning Heating Appliances Marine Service Toll Free: E.
