Find The Best Tarpon Guides

By Patrice McCoy


Catching the great silver jumping monster is something you shouldn't miss. Even if you don't have any equipment, Key West tarpon guides will provide everything you might need, including high quality reels and rods. If you would like to purchase your own equipment, you will get some valuable advices and info about top of the line gear, at reasonable prices.

Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean are the best places when you are searching for tarpon. They can be found in shallow and brackish waters, but the area of Florida Keys and west side of Key West are their favorite spots. With a little help of your chosen experienced sea captain as a guide, you will have really exciting day or night on the sea.

This mostly bright silver, prehistoric fish is a dream catch for every serious fisherman. Those huge mouths with big bone structure pointing upwards and strong, large scales covered bodies are promising the ultimate fishing experience. This fish will fight back, and you have to be prepared for it. The interesting thing about them is that they actually have lungs, and they can breathe.

The season begins in March, but May is the peak of tarpon season, especially for night fishing. June and July are also very good for them. Baby tarpon is more interesting in August and September, but the season can be prolonged to October, very successfully.

You shouldn't forget about the importance of quality flies. Search online to find high quality products. Back country brown, back country orange.brown, different pin fish or mutton snapper, mangrove bait fish and blue or purple crab are very good choices, as well as anchovy and shiner. The same can be used for baby tarpon also, in smaller sizes.

There are four different reservations available. The whole day reservation will involve 8 hours on the sea, three quarters is approximately 6 hours and half day flats fishing means 4 hours of fishing. Nights reservations are also available. The rates for each type can be found online, but you should discuss the details with your captain.

You will have to leave the deposit for each reservation, and you need to discuss the details with your selected captain. The deposit is usually about forty percent of the price. If you need to cancel your reservation, do it at least 30 days before, to be able to receive a full refund. Sometimes you will be able to re-schedule the date, but you have to talk to your captain about it.

Sometimes the weather conditions are too bad to go out there on the sea. In this case, your captain may be forced to cancel your charter. If something like that happen, you will receive a full refund. Maybe you would rather re-schedule it. If so, you need to talk with the captain to make all necessary arrangements.

When you book charter, it will include flies, the use of all the tackle and the fishing license. Every boat has a cooler, and you can bring drinks and food and store it there. All other details are negotiable. Key West tarpon guides will give their best to provide the ultimate fishing experience for you.
