Seasons

Spring marks Peak Tarpon season which spans March through June.  During this period the Tarpon are migrating.  They make the Florida Keys their home and take advantage of the abundant forage which include smaller baitfish, shrimp, and crabs.

Summer months are a good time as the crowds are smaller.  It is a bit warm, but it is a good time for a slam ( tarpon, permit and bonefish in one day).

Fall is also a great time and the fishing is good for permit, bonefish, smaller class tarpon and resident tarpon.

Winter months are particularly good for sharks & barracuda.

This type of fishing will challenge even the best fly angler and your ability to present a fly accurately at a moving target with out spooking the fish. Do everything right, get ready to see your backing! We use a wide variety gear and flies depending on the species with rod sizes ranging from 8-12 weight fly rods and lines.The flies we use imitate shrimp, crabs, and various baitfish that in habit the Florida Keys. Catching even one of these species is an angling accomplishment, get all three in one day and you've achieved the coveted Slam!		Spin Fishing Techniques   For the spin fisherman we use shrimp, crabs, and artificial lures to entice these species to bite and take the presentation. We use medium to heavy gear to tackle these fish depending on the targeted species. These fish make long hard runs when hooked and is an exciting experience as you can see the fish from the stalk, to the take and fight, and if all goes well, landing the fish. Catching even one of these species is an angling accomplishment, get all three in one day and you've achieved the coveted Slam!
