Tarpon Season in Full Swing

Tarpon Season is in Full Swing here in the Florida Keys. The weather has been on the windy side, but that is normal for April. As we move into May and June the winds tend to lay down and these Tarpon really settle in for their stay in the Key West waters. So, if you’ve never been lucky enough to get a chance at catching the Silver King—NOW is the time.
Give us a call 305.587.7669
Drop an email here or just book it directly on the site. Anyway you book, you wont be disappointed.

Start of Tarpon Season?????

Over the last 10 days we have been seeing more and more Tarpon showing up in the usual places. We’ve had a couple crummy weather days where we didn’t see any, but when the conditions are right we have been having success with them. It’s still a little early, but it has been reassuring to see them and look forward to the next few months of great Tarpon Fishing

Get in touch soon as our dates are filling up!!!!

Happy New Year 2024

Happy New Year—-This Holidays are past us and its a New Start to 2024. Things have kicked off great for us here at ShadowCaster Charters. The weather has been the typical winter pattern, with cold fronts moving through almost weekly. The cooler water temps have brought alot of the inshore species to some of the shallow reefs. We have been catching Snapper, Cobia, Grouper (although out of season, gotta release em), etc. For the die hard Tarpon fisherman, there are still resident Tarpon to target, but you gotta pick a good weather day.
Bookings are pouring in for our “season”, so get in touch and lets Go Fishing
