Yes...we know it is early, however with the recent warming and the water temps going up, tarpon will be moving around with the afternoon warming of the water. One of our top guides along with a great local fly fisherman went out in search of an early tarpon and found one! A beautiful 125 lb tarpon that jumped on the fly. What a sight, especially in March. Keep in mind that at the present time the fishery is really popping with lots of reds and snook as well as trout.

Enjoy the pics and look us up if you are in the Tampa Bay area.
