Key West - Saltwater Fishing Report

Tarpon Migration Picking Up Steam

The Permit are thinning out a bit as March roared out like a lion with winds from 15 to 20 nauts. Tarpon are showing in larger numbers in the channels and on the flats. Today we hooked up a 100 lb. silver king on a black death fly. This was the fourth day in a row that we have had our way with Tarpon.The permit will be around in smaller numbers in April due to their spawing ritual in deeper water, however there are always a few around to play with. Bonefish are available all day long on the flats this time of year, making Grand Slam fishing possible.Before you travel to the Keys for some great Tarpon, Bonefish and Permit action, call Capt. Dexter Simmons for a live report 305-745-3304. Tight Lines and Screaming Reels!
