Seasonal Evening Fishing Battles With The Silver King

The tarpon migration is one of the most coveted fishing experiences we share with our clients in Islamorada. We target tarpon year round and offer both daytime and nighttime trips depending on the timing of the season. The primary migration is from April-June, but we are able to fish for tarpon 365 days of the year.

Sunset/nighttime tarpon fishing is the true highlight experience of the season. The weather cools off, you’re not sweating in the sun, and it’s an absolutely beautiful atmosphere on the water. There’s nothing better than enjoying a sunset with a silver king flying through the air. We typically run these trips from 4-8pm.

Target Species

On our tarpon trips, we’re running and gunning for tarpon and tarpon only. There is of course a chance of hooking into a big jack crevalle or a shark on these trips but our focus is always on the silver king. We have a limited window during the migration so we’re actively hunting for schools and following them as they make their way through the keys. This is one of the most exciting trips we offer. We use a mix of live bait and artificial tactics to target tarpon as they migrate through the area.

Where We Fish

We’re following the tarpon migration from the time they make their way through the Everglades National Park to the deep water channels and bridges around Islamorada. Once they make their way into the area we’re 100% focused on doing everything we can to get you in front of a school, casting for a shot at a fish you’ll never forget.

What's Included

We pride ourselves in using the highest quality, meticulously maintained boats, electronics, and tackle.

Everything for your tarpon fishing trips is taken care of, just bring what you’d like to eat and drink. Our experienced captains meticulously maintain our boats and use only the best fishing tackle available. Our custom-made 25′ West End Bay Boat features the best electronics with live scope, side scan, and GPS. It has comfortable seating and is an extra wide platform for fishing and fighting. Our Minn Kota trolling motor with iPilot navigates us around structure and keeps us on schools of fish.

What To Bring

Bring everything you need for an afternoon or evening of fishing for tarpon. We highly recommend breathable and comfortable SPF clothing and sunscreen. Bring comfortable close-toed boat shoes (with good grip). A hat or a visor always helps and polarized glasses really make the experience better.

The cooler is loaded with ice. Be sure to bring your snacks, lunch, and any beverages you’d like for the day.

You’re welcome to bring fly tackle if you want to fly fish but we have all spin tackle and bait covered.
