Key West and Lower Keys

Tarpon Often Jump Into the Boat! There is an old joke about the fishing being "so good that they were jumping into the boat!" Well, sometimes this happens when the fishing is slow too. When you least expect it a Tarpon will jump into the boat and cause some havoc, breaking rods, spreading slime and blood (fish blood that is) everywhere!!! Well, this has happened many times on "FlatsMaster". However, one particular day this past week yielded a baby tarpon of 10 pounds that jumped into the stern hatch of the boat! On the link to the video following the image, Andrew Bloom is the angler of this hysterical encounter with a baby Silver King. Andrew and Capt. Dexter released the baby in good condition afterwards.Click here to view the hysterical "Baby Jumps Into Boat" video.Here, Andrew proudly holds a 5 pound Mutton Snapper caught on fly.John Cusack Sr. proudly poses with his son in law on a permit double! Now is a good time to plan a summer fishing trip! Our Father-Son Key West Flats Fishing Camps are scheduled for late June, July, August and September.
