Miami Fly Fishing, Tarpon Fly Fishing, Miami Tarpon Fishing

Tarpon Fishing in South Florida is one of the most
exhilarating experiences known on the planet! From the
time they start rolling around the boat Crashing on Bait till
your captain safely releases the fish to fight another day,
that fish has implanted a memory that will stay with you for
the rest of your life!
The acrobatic jumps, the violent crashing of water, the long
screaming runs, the overall respect you gain after the fight
truly gives it the name "Silver King"

Ever dream of catching a giant Tarpon?
If its Tarpon that has been haunting your dreams then you
aren't alone. Many Anglers dream of the day they may meet
the Silver King again. Tarpon can be caught in South Florida
all year long. During Tarpon Season in South Florida
(March-June)you can expect to follow the old saying "Early
to Bed, Early to Rise, Fish all Day, and Hope to not make up
Lies!"A typical morning starts by meeting at the ramp about
30 Minutes before first light. The reason being a Tarpon is
primarily a nocturnal eating species so fishing the first few
hours of daylight are very crucial.

What should I wear?
The first thing anyone should ever do before they think of
catching one of these beasts is make sure they are prepared
before they leave the dock. Most backcountry guides in
South Florida dress in light colored, light weight, long sleeve,
long pant clothing. Believe me this is not a fashion statement
we are making down here. It is because the sun is relentless
and sometimes mosquitoes can be an issue in the
backcountry and the clothing protects us. Polarized
Sunglasses are a must. I recommend the best Costa Del Mar
Sunglasses. And of course a hat, suntan lotion, and lots of
water. Once you have all these things get ready for the time of
your life!

What time of year is the best to catch Tarpon?
Tarpon are found here in South Florida and The Everglades
all year long. During the months of Feb. - July the larger fish
can be found in great numbers traveling in large schools in
South Florida. These fish are generally 60-200 Pounds and
very eager to eat just about anything in its path. During the
end of summer and into the winter we generally turn our
attention to the far remote backcountry in search for
juvenile tarpon. These fish are normally found from 1-40
pounds and have a tendency to be very aggressive. While
fishing in these remote waters it is not uncommon to jump 30
fish in a single day. Not to mention you probably will not see
a boat the entire day. It is one of the last untouched wild
areas of Florida.

What if I am just learning to fish? I'm not sure I
am ready for a large Tarpon.
Fishing for these juvenile tarpon is an awesome experience
for all ages. Here you can see 8 year old Christopher with his
first baby tarpon on Fly. This is a great way to practice your
skills with a fly rod because you are presented with
numerous shots on fish that are eager to eat. Or if you would
rather stick to spinning gear, using weedless soft-plastic
lures is a whole lot of fun casting to schools of juvenile
Tarpon.
Juvenile Tarpon spend the first year or two of their lives in
these backcountry ponds. They grow about 1 foot in length
per year for the first 4-5 years of their life
