SHARK AND TARPON FISHING IN ISLAMORADA, FLORIDA KEYS

Robbie’s of Islamorada is famous for the Tarpon Feeding, but we are just as well known for our Shark & Tarpon Fishing. Islamorada offers some of the best tarpon and shark fishing in the Florida Keys.

With tarpon migrating through Islamorada, March through September are the most active months for shark and tarpon fishing. You can fish for tarpon here all year, working the channels, bridges and Everglades National Park for these Silver Kings.

Tarpon average 80 to 150 pounds. They are exciting to catch, leaping out of the water trying to shake the hook. These Silver Kings put on a real show, so have your camera ready.

While you wait on the fight of a Silver King, you’re likely to hook up with one of the many shark species living in the nearshore waters of Islamorada.

Islamorada is home to many species of sharks, including lemon, nurse, bull and spinner sharks.
