WHEN TO BOOK YOUR FISHING CHARTER?

Tightlines Charter Clearwater FL family friendly fishing charters redfish snook tarpon safe for kids

Clearwater, Florida offers incredible fishing year-round, but planning your charter around seasonal patterns can help you target the species you want most. Here’s a quick guide to the best fishing seasons in Clearwater, Dunedin, and Tarpon Springs:

✔ Spring & Fall – Peak Inshore Fishing

Prime time for redfish, snook, and speckled trout on the flats, mangrove edges, and oyster bars. These seasons offer some of the most consistent inshore fishing of the year.

✔ Summer – Tarpon Migration & Beach Snook

Clearwater’s world-famous tarpon season runs May through July, bringing giant silver kings along the beaches. Big snook also stack up along the passes and shoreline.

✔ Winter – Clear Water & Trophy Sight-Fishing

Cooler temperatures bring outstanding sight-fishing for large redfish, plus a strong mix of sheepshead, snapper, mackerel, and other nearshore species.

Not sure when to book your Clearwater fishing charter? We’re happy to help you choose the perfect season based on the species you want to target.
