Ahh Springtime…warmer weather, birds return to the North, school’s almost out, and oh yes, Key West Florida tarpon fishing! Tarpon return in droves this time of year, and Key West fishing guides are ready to take you out to hook a silvery monster! These giant fish get to be hundreds of pounds, and when hooked they jump way into the air trying to throw the hook. Such an acrobatic display for such a huge fish, but that’s what makes Key West Florida tarpon fishing such a thrill.

Most Key West Florida tarpon fishing charters will be in the morning or at dusk, which are the times when tarpon feed the most. A tarpon charter trip will usually take place right next to Key West, as they run in the channels all around Key West harbor. That means more time for hooking fish and less time traveling. However, some guides will drive you to more remote spots, especially if your flats fishing trip is a combo trip where you target tarpon and other species as well. However, most of the time if you’re chartering a tarpon trip, that’s what you will concentrate on. After all, Key West Florida tarpon fishing is so exciting, who needs to catch anything else?

Key West tarpon fishing is 100% catch and release, by the way. It’s illegal to kill a tarpon, and you wouldn’t want to eat one anyway. They don’t taste good at all. It’s a sport fishing species only.

Can’t get to Key West for some awesome flats fishing or offshore trips? One way to keep up with what’s going on and satisfy that relentless urge to fish is to read a Key West fishing report. That’s right, not only do our top guides take passengers out to excellent fishing grounds, but after they get home they sit down at the computer and write up a fishing report. It’s one way for you to keep abreast of what’s running that week, or someone might read a Key West fishing report to learn more about salt water sport fishing. Or heck, it sure is a great way to pass time…reading about sport fishing under the Florida sun, catching fish like tarpon, grouper, marlin, bonefish… you name it, you dream it!

So, whether you’re still in dream mode or the planning stages of your Key West vacation, or even if you’re already here and you’re just getting ready for your day of Key West fishing, a Key West fishing report can be useful, entertaining, or both! See how the boats have been doing for your targeted species. Come to Key West for some Key West tuna fishing? Check out our offshore fishing guides’ reports. They will fill you in on details that matter, like what the Gulf Stream looks like that day, how “dirty” the water is, what depths the big fish are hanging out at, and how big the waves are. Check ‘em out in our Key West fishing report section.
