There are thousands of different sports throughout the world but none is as exciting as fishing. One of the most popular, for those who like a challenge, is Key West tarpon fishing. Since this fish is extremely strong once hooked there is a terrific battle reeling them in.
These fish can be found off the beach, around bridges, and in shallow flats. The methods used for this particular activity can vary. They can include plugging, trolling, drifting, and bottom or fly fishing. Many times places such as the bridges are fished at the time of a full moon.
This species is extremely large and puts up a real battle. Weights reported were Florida, in 1975, 243 pounds and Africa, in 2003, 286 pounds, 9 ounces. Spawning takes place in the months of April, May, and June, which is a very popular time for this sport. Imagine how many hours it took to land them.
Known as 'Silver Kings', these giant fish are often caught from a charter boat in Key West Harbor. This method is especially popular with visitors as the proper bait and gear is already on hand. The captain and crew are ready to provide any assistance or advice regarding properly landing this particular species.
Contrary to other types of fish, these can even live in fresh water thanks to a swim bladder. This part of their bodies acts as lungs which means they can breathe oxygen and survive in unusual places. That is why they are often found in deep canals, upper rivers, and other inland waters.
