The Florida Keys and Key West are one of the few places in the world that can boast a year round tarpon fishery. That said, there are times when tarpon are more prevalent than others and weather dictates the availability greatly. To truly get a grip on what we expect to have for tarpon fishing while you might be visiting the Florida Keys or Key West, make a call to our offices for an up to minute report or check out our fishing reports found at the bottom of this page.
Tarpon season traditionally starts in the Florida Keys Mid February and goes through July. This is typically when an angler can call and book a "tarpon fishing" charter with any one of our expert fishing guides and expect to have some honest shots. The early fish are what we call Gulf fish, the tarpon that show up in April are the Migratory fish. Both the same species but two very different personalities. Calling and asking us what we think is best for your time here will certainly give you a good crystal ball into your plans to catch a tarpon. Early in the season tarpon may be around however a cold front passing through will certainly change the bite and possibly (if cold long enough) the presence of them in the area chosen to fish for them. In any case, our fishing guides are straight forward with their anglers and tell them what the chances are of catching the mighty Silver King and offer other alternatives for the day at hand. Our tarpon fishing guides are all professionals and they know before they even leave the dock what the chances are of seeing, hooking and landing a tarpon that day. |

The famous Florida Keys tarpon migration starts in late April. This date can vary with the even of a late winter or early spring. The fish of the migration come up from the south and mingle with our Gulf fish that were here earlier adding to the dynamics of tarpon availability. As the water gets warmer the tarpon will start to show up on the flats and in still backcountry areas as "laid up" fish. this is a great time of the year to sight fish for tarpon with light tackle or fly fishing techniques.
As the year wears on and the summer gets hotter, tarpon fishing is best done early in the morning or late in the evening. We offer tarpon fishing charters to best suit the needs of our tarpon fishing anglers. In the summer many of our fishermen opt for our All In Wonder charters that offer a good section of the fishing charter focused on tarpon as well as other species in the shallows such as permit or bonefish. A great way to split up a day and offer some diversity to an anglers catch bag. When calling ask about the possibilities of an "All In Wonder" experience for your time here.
