Every spring along Florida’s coast begins the annual tarpon migration. Due to the unique placement of Anna Maria Island, this is the finest tarpon fishing hot spot in all of Tampa Bay! With huge schools migrating along the beach smashing bait, and rollers headed into the backcountry side offering stellar sight fishing opportunities – AMI tarpon fishing is a season not to be missed.
Anna Maria Island includes all of the inshore estuary features The Silver King is attracted to. This includes backcountry, flats, inshore, and nearshore areas – all within minutes of each other.

This part of Florida is home to The Grand Slam of inshore fishing. Anglers who catch a redfish, snook, and a seatrout in a single day have achieved a Salm. Those who add a tarpon to the day’s catch achieve The Grand Slam. While this isn’t a common occurrence on a regular day’s fishing trip, the opportunity definitely exists here in AMI – along the Tampa Bay estuary system.
