Tarpon Migration Stalled by Winds

May 3, 2004David Wipf (2002 Angler of the Year) is fishing aboard "FlatsMaster" this week and has hooked up a few Tarpon in less than perfect conditions. The winds have continued to blow hard and the big migration of Tarpon has not materialized as of yet.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. Our Father (Mother) - Son (Daughter) Key West Flats Fishing Trips are now scheduled for throughout the summer, fall and winter.

Dexter Simmons for a future fishing charter by telephone at 305-745-3304 or by email at [email protected]
