South Florida isn’t just known for its stunning beaches—it’s a paradise for fishing enthusiasts, particularly for tarpon feeding! The tarpon is a large, silver-hued fish that has been said to live up to 50 years (one in captivity lived 68 years), can grow up to 8 feet in length, and weighs a whopping 280+ lbs!!!. Thriving in warm, subtropical waters, this impressive species has attracted fishermen since the early 1900s. The Florida Keys is undoubtedly the tarpon fishing capital of the world. For a truly unique Florida Keys experience, stop at Robbies Marina on Islamorada and try your luck at tarpon feeding. Be sure to incorporate this thrilling fishing experience into your itinerary when traveling from Miami to Key West.
