Tarpon
The tarpon has everything the angler could
possibly want, huge size, an aerobatic display once hooked that has
no comparison and finally the angler can watch this whole thing
unfold right in front of their eyes in the crystal clear water on
the flats of Islamorada and the surrounding Florida Keys.
In late March the tarpon start their annual migration from deep
within Florida Bay through the waters of Islamorada and the
surrounding Florida Keys. The tarpon move through the shallow water
flats to feed on shrimp, crabs and small baitfish as they make their
way to the reef to spawn. This migration lasts until the middle of
June. During this time it is not uncommon to see and to cast to
hundreds of tarpon moving through the flats of Islamorada and the
surrounding waters of the Florida Keys in a single day.
This is an exciting time of year when these large
tarpon are prowling the flats of Islamorada and the surrounding
waters of the Florida Keys.
