Tarpon,
what a Fish! If I had
to choose one type of fishing as my favorite, tarpon fishing in Key
West 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). Customers like this style of tarpon fishing
because you can hook an outrageous amount of tarpon and other fish
as well. 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 July, but you still have a
shot the rest of the year if the weather permits. 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. |

If you
look around, you will notice my rates are a little less than
some other light tackle boats. One of the reasons is that
I run a single engine boat that is good on fuel. This
certainly helps keep the cost down these days with the price of
fuel. Another reason is a lot of the guides down here pay
huge commissions for other people to book there boats, 20% to
30%. I do not participate in any bookies websites.
All of my business is repeat, referral and the rest is from this
website, which I built and maintain. When I refer you to
another guide, I do not take a commission or any referral fee.
