Tarpon
Tarpon are the most powerful, explosive, and
physically demanding of all flats species. Every year these fish
migrate though our waters, offering fly-fishermen and light tackle
anglers alike the most incredible sight fishing opportunities.
Standing
on the bow of a skiff, gazing into gin clear waters, patiently waiting
for the "Silver King" to show up. The school starts easing its way
down the bank, coming directly at the boat. The cast is made, the fish
follows, eats, and then puts holes in the ocean the size of a V.W.
Bug! This is what tarpon fishing is all about.
The Florida Keys
offers the best sight fishing opportunities for tarpon than any other
place in the world! We get huge numbers of Tarpon that migrate
here every year, breaking the rods and spirits of anglers for several
months. No where else can you go and get shot after shot after shot at
the "mighty poon"!
When the waters start to warm, these fish
start to show up in back county basins in February and in March, and
by May the migration is in full swing. April, May, and June are
the prime time months with July also being excellent. There plenty of
residents to be found year-round but not enough to justify a trip on a
whim.
So if your looking for one of the most spectacular fighting fish in the ocean, come on down and get you some! It's Poontastic!
