With all that pressure the fish definitely get smart after a while, so while you may see lots of fish on any given day, you may find that there are times when they just don’t want to bite! The summer time offers great fishing for more of our resident tarpon. Though you must remember, just about every guide is fishing at these times too (many during the day, and many at night) so the fish have a ton of pressure on them during these months. April and May are traditionally thought of as the peak months of tarpon season and this is definitely true – you probably have more tarpon here at these times than any other, as there are a large number of migrating fish here then plus many of the residents. One things for sure though – if the weather is calm and warm, you should have a very good chance at catching tarpon in Islamorada. Some years it stays like that and we have a good early spring for them, other years we are bombarded with late cold fronts and the tarpon fishing doesn’t get consistent until a little later. Though we usually start catching some in February whenever the water temperatures consistently get in the mid 70 degree range.
Generally speaking, your best tarpon fishing months are April through July. Sometimes the ‘off season’ is even better fishing than in prime time as these tarpon aren’t seeing near the pressure that they do in the spring time. What’s also unique about the Keys is we have tarpon that live here year round, unlike many other areas of the U.S. The Florida Keys are home to one of the premier tarpon fishing destinations on the planet! Every spring, thousands of tarpon migrate through our waters from both the Atlantic and Gulf sides, offering some of the best opportunities you’ll find for catching tarpon on bait, fly, or artificial.
