Key West and Lower Keys

Baby Tarpon in the Marquesas Baby Tarpon in the Marquesas and the Lower Florida Keys are often accompanied by some good size Jack Crevalle chasing the same glass minnows, pilchard, or mullet minnows. Here Ken displays a nice 25 pound Tarpon caught in Mooney Harbor Channel in the Marquesas. Believe it or not, Ken hooked, jumped and landed this Tarpon after his first cast a few mornings ago. As a matter of fact, this was the first time that Ken had ever cast to Tarpon! Good job Ken!Ken's better half, Karen, then caught a big Jack Crevalle of about 15 pounds. The Jack was very feisty and nearly was eaten by a large Black Tip Shark. Karen did a masterful job of keeping the Shark's jaws away form the Jack.Recently, there has been some excellent Bonefish action on the flats. Here, Chase proudly holds a 7 pound Bone caught in the Sugarloaf backcountry.Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall and winter.
