Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report
Tarpon Runs Hot in May, 2005
May 30, 2005May continues to be the best for Tarpon fishing in years here in the Keys. Here is Mark from Wisconsin kissing his first Tarpon on fly. Here is Ed Stephenson jumping a couple of Silver King, both of which he brought to the boat within 30 minutes. Nice work Ed!Ed really does a great job of bowing to the fish in the above photo.Ed instinctively gives the Tarpon the "down and dirty" technique in the above photo. This low rod side pressure is applied in the opposite direction that the fish is moving, especially when the Tarpon is attempting to roll up and gulp air. Successfull application of the "down and dirty" technique usually defeats the stamina of the fish and thereby shortens the fight. Ed's two Tarpon (100 and 130 pounds) were caught on the same day with the same fly! Capt. Dexter's Black Death was the fly.Here is David Smith of Toronto hooked up to a 110 pound silver King. David brought the fish to the boat where the leader was reeled into the rod tip for a legal catch.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. April, May, June, July, August, September, October are generally
great months to catch Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Barracuda, Shark, Jack Crevalle. So plan your trip now.Tarpon Season is here and images like the one above are in the mind and dreams of all flats anglers. Bonefish will also be actively feeding and tailing in the shallows as the water warms into the 80's this Spring. Late June and July dates are still available, so contact Capt. Dexter Simmons at 305-745-3304 for more info.
