So you would like to catch Tarpon, lots of them. They feed mostly at night. All night! Book a charter with any other Captain and you will be talking about all the shots at fish you had. Book a trip with me and you may run out of storage on your phone from all the pictures of trophy fish being caught. I load the boat up with LIVE mullet and crabs the evening before and then we go at it all night. It’s a poontastic adventure and I guarantee everyone on the boat catches a tarpon, even if you bad fisherman.

Seasonal 3/4 Day Trip (12 PM)

A 6 hour trip (3/4 day) is basically our extended half day trip. You'll get a couple extra hours to fish over a standard half day trip. During March this often is enough time to try a bit for a trophy tarpon (the silver king!) and if things play out right still have time to catch a few snappers for dinner nearby (dinner & a show!) or try something else. If the tarpon fishing is tougher this also gives you a little extra time compared to a half day to hopefully catch that window where they are biting.

Tarpon Fishing in Florida Keys

Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys is the ultimate inshore sportfishing challenge. The Silver King can be seen cruising the shallows from the Everglades all the way down to Key West. These are usually highly seasonal fish, but can be caught here almost any time of the year, which is why the Keys should be at the top of your Tarpon fishing list.

While these hard-fighting fish stick around for most of the year, the best Tarpon fishing in the Keys runs from March–June. You can target them on the flats and in the backcountry, but they also congregate around structure. This means that the many bridges in the Keys are your go-to spots for productive Tarpon fishing.

Depending on how much time you want to dedicate, you can go on a half day or a full day trip. If you’re looking for an introduction to Tarpon fishing, or if you’re heading out with the family, it might be best to book a half day charter. But if you want the best chances to reel in a big one, consider spending a full day on the water.

So where do you find a Tarpon fishing charter in the Keys? That’s easy – they’re everywhere! Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Key West… Wherever you are, just head on down to the dock and take your pick!

Blake is a great guide with full knowledge of the keys. He knows precisely where and how to get you on some fish. We caught barracuda, bonefish, and tarpon. He's a personable guy with a great attitude and sense of humor. But he doesn't joke around about catching fish.

Met Caiman at the dock at 0600. He’s a Florida native like myself and it was obvious early on that fishing is his passion. He had me on the tarpon all morning. First cast was the first fish of the day. After the tarpon I caught my first bonefish!

Great trip, BIG FISH
5/5
Capt Mark is awesome! Super flexible and a good guy. And he put us on big fish and we got the bites quickly. Mark did everything he could to help us land these fish, it was a lot of fun. We hooked into big tarpon, Goliath grouper and lemon sharks. We landed two lemon sharks 6ft+ and got a big tarpon almost next to the boat. I was with my wife and daughter and we also got some great sandbar time in. Thanks for the great trip!
