Stump Pass on the west coast of Florida just south of Manasota Key in Englewood. Bring multiple rods and extra line for when you get spooled...
Boca Grande Pass on the west coast. You will not regret it.
I've read about Boca Grande. It is supposed to have a lot of tarpon but some people say don't go there because it is wall-to-wall boats and some people don't have any fishing manners.
I should add - I don't need to go after a 200 pounder or anything, I would be very happy with something in the 50 pound range. I just want to beat my biggest fish so far - a 37 pound salmon.

My sister and another friend live minutes drive from there.
Wow, they live right by tarpon heaven and probably don't even fish for them, or maybe they do.
