Tarpon Fishing Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda offers some of the best access to the tarpon fishing grounds in Charlotte Harbor. A beautiful Riverfront community that over looks the sunsets coming across backs of tarpon as they roll in the early or late afternoons. With miles of direct  connected canals that host the juvenile tarpon and home to a sizeable year round tarpon population, makes Punta a most stay tarpon destination.
