Key West Tarpon Fishing

  What a Fish!   If I had to choose a fish as my favorite, tarpon would be the one.  Key West offers many different techniques to fish for tarpon.  Some like to pursue these giants on the shallow flats, fishing with spin tackle or fly fishing for them.  Others like to fish for tarpon in the Key West Harbor area with conventional or spin tackle using shrimp boat by-catch (chum).  This chumming technique can produce some unbelievable catches.  There are many days when you can see tarpon flashing right behind the boat as they inhale the bait.  If you really just want to catch a tarpon and a lot of other fish, this is the way to go.  I find the chumming technique best for anglers who have yet to land a "Silver King" or for anglers that really want to catch tarpon.  I use this technique on my light tackle boat "Seize the Day".  I catch tarpon consistently from mid February to September.  The prime months for tarpon fishing are March, April, May and June.  This is when large numbers of tarpon  gather in Key West Harbor.  It's also busy with anglers trying to book tarpon charters.  Book in advance if you plan on fishing the prime months.
