Key West and Lower Keys

Windy Weather Slows Tarpon Migration May 15, 2004Brian and Mark had some windy days fishing aboard "FlatsMaster with Capt. Dexter Simmons during the second week of May. Even with the difficult East-Northeast winds, Brian and Mark were able to get the Silver Kings to eat the fly on the shallow water flats. Here is Brian fighting a 70 pound Tarpon.Tarpon season has been difficult so far due to cool water and high winds. June could be a tremendous Tarpon-Bonefsih-Permit month here in the Keys. Here is another shot of a Brian Zuhse jumped Tarpon. Casting from the foredeck of "FlatsMaster" in THE CAGE gives anglers additional height and stability so they may easily spot fish in the clear, shallow waters of the Keys. March, April, May and June generally brings some great catches of Permit, Tarpon, and Bonefish, so plan your trip now. Tarpon like the one above landed by Louis Eagle, will be pushing through Keys waters regularly from now through June.Permit are Marching in big numbers from now through early April. Bonefish will be schooling and readily available as the water temps rise to the mid to high 70's.
