Tarpon Fishing

Key West is one of the hottest destinations on the planet for tarpon fishing. Tarpon migrate right through the Key West area in the spring and summer months. They fill into our channels, basins, and flats offering our light tackle and fly fishing anglers great shots at them. Some tarpon stick around the whole year keeping our bite hot right through summer into the fall when we start fishing for our juvenile tarpon that are laid up in the mangroves.

Not only do we have nearly year round opportunities for catching a tarpon but Key West is also a great location to go fishing. With great Key West accommodations all the major resorts and hotels are represented here. An international airport that is just 2 minutes from a dock that has a Key West tarpon fishing guide that will take you out. We have Uber, Lift, rental cars, mopeds and cabs to get you around our 4 x 5 mile island.

If catching a tarpon is on your bucket list Key West is a great destination to go to and get that done and we have the tarpon fishing guides that will take you.
