Tarpon season is in full swing, and with that, come a fantastic round of tournaments! This year, the World's Richest Tarpon Tournament hosted by the Boca Grande Chamber of Commerce will be bigger and better than ever! Last year will be hard one to beat, but with Lew Hastings, his very active group of volunteers, and numerous Chamber members, this will be an amazing time – whether you're fishing or not! Again this year, the Chamber has arranged for a phenomenal downtown event full of music, vendors, food, art, and fun! Add to that the excitement of the best tarpon tournament anywhere around, and you've got an incredible time to come down to Boca Grande!
The Chamber's Ladies Day tournament will be held this weekend, but if you can't make it down in May, the Howl at the Moon Ladies' Tournament will be held on June 1st.
Here's the full schedule of this year's events!

And as always, make sure to use our "homegrown" Captains! Members of the Boca Grande Guides Association are all LIVE BAIT fishermen, and Gulf Coast Charter Brokers also ONLY endorses the use of LIVE BAIT to preserve our fishery and these beautiful tarpon! If you're not sure if the Captain you are using practices ethical and responsible sportsmanship, contact the Boca Grande Guides Association to verify his/her membership.
