Tarpon fishing in the Florida Keys is the ultimate inshore sportfishing challenge. The Silver King can be seen cruising the shallows from the Everglades all the way down to Key West. These are usually highly seasonal fish, but can be caught here almost any time of the year, which is why the Keys should be at the top of your Tarpon fishing list.

While these hard-fighting fish stick around for most of the year, the best Tarpon fishing in the Keys runs from March–June. You can target them on the flats and in the backcountry, but they also congregate around structure. This means that the many bridges in the Keys are your go-to spots for productive Tarpon fishing.

Depending on how much time you want to dedicate, you can go on a half day or a full day trip. If you’re looking for an introduction to Tarpon fishing, or if you’re heading out with the family, it might be best to book a half day charter. But if you want the best chances to reel in a big one, consider spending a full day on the water.

So where do you find a Tarpon fishing charter in the Keys? That’s easy – they’re everywhere! Key Largo, Islamorada, Marathon, Key West… Wherever you are, just head on down to the dock and take your pick!
