                                          Tarpon Fishing Key West
Tarpon are the premier sport fish for fly fishermen wanting to sight cast in crystal clear waters. Key West and the Florida Keys are undoubtedly the greatest destination for shallow water sight casting to tarpon.

Beginning in mid-January and lasting into early July, hundreds of thousands of migratory tarpon pour into the local waters to feed and rest, following shallow water routes that they have used for thousands of years.

Little unchanged for eons, tarpon need to surface and “gulp air,” to compliment the oxygen pushed across their gills while swimming.

Tarpon can be seen, happily gulping air and rolling in the early mornings and late evenings as they prepare for breakfast and supper, respectfully.

And those are the times that savvy guides take you to the fishing hot spots that test both your tackle and muster.

Tarpon are a semi-renewable source of excitement for fly fisherpersons and should be afforded the utmost respect from anglers.

A Giant Tarpon will battle you until it is on death's door and needs to be respected by an angler by putting the screws to the metal and not backing down. Whoever blinks first, loses!

 

You too can enjoy this incredible fishing, simply by calling Capt. Greg Rahe at (305) 923-4369 or by email.
