Keys Fishing
What can you say about Tarpon fishing in this little piece of the world we call
paradise other than “WOW”! The Florida Keys offers some of the best tarpon fishing
in the World! The tarpon is non-edible and a very athletic and strong fish so this
type of fishing will truly wear an angler out! You can find this species throughout the
Florida Keys and are targeted more in the spring. Baby tarpon may be found in
residential canals that surround mangrove islands. In summer, tarpon range from
babies of 5 to 25 pounds up to an average size of 30 to 60 pounds. For the most
part, these tarpon live in the Keys and don't roam far.
But there are also migrating tarpon that come to the warm waters of the Keys in the
spring. They come in a hurry and they are big! It is a common site to see fish over
100 lbs. swimming and rolling right around your boat
At times, Florida Bay has an enormous population of medium to large fish - a
population that is readily accessible by small craft. Also, any of the 42 bridges in the
Keys that allow movement of a substantial amount of water between the bay and the
ocean also harbor these fish. Channel Two Bridge and Channel Five Bridge, both
just south of Islamorada, are notorious tarpon spots.
Anglers should look for calm conditions early and late in the day; such conditions
keep fish "rolling" on the surface of the water and gulping air - a delight to the eye
and the ear.
