Tarpon Diem

A Key West Flats Fishing Charter

Seize Your Day on the Water

Key West fishing is special and diverse. Key West flats fishing and specifically Key West tarpon fishing is world class. Tarpon Diem is an owner operated Key West flats fishing charter located just minutes from downtown Key West at Hurricane Hole Marina with plenty of free parking. You are not booking with some large faceless charter company who cares more about their bottom line than they do your good time. This may be your only chance this year to get on the water or for some of you it may be your only chance ever. That's why it is so important to me that you have good time and make a memory that will last a lifetime.  

Choosing any trip doesn't limit you to that activity. I am always flexible and able to change your experience based upon weather and what's biting. I can't promise that the fish will always bite but I can promise that I will work hard for you and have a great attitude while I do it.

Charter the boat for up to four anglers.
4 hour 1/2 day $700 - 
6 hour 3/4 day $900 - 
8 hour full day $1100

Tarpon! 

Tarpon fishing is by far my most popular trip. Lets pull some pinfish traps and go to it. We’ll anchor up and chum with chunks and bring them to us or perhaps drift a channel, depending on conditions. 

When it’s good Key West is home to some of the best tarpon fishing in the world and it won’t take long until the the drag starts screaming and a giant silver torpedo blasts into the air. Then its time to settle in for a long battle. It is not unusual for the fight to last an hour or even longer. Tarpon just don’t give up every time you think you have worn them down they gulp air and take a blistering run making you earn back every inch. 

Once you have done battle with one of these monsters you will know why they call them the silver king. If you have caught a tarpon you know why this fish is on so many people’s bucket list. If you haven’t what are you waiting for? Get down here and catch a monster! Check that tarpon off your bucket list once and you will be hooked for life.

Sharks!

Lets anchor up in a channel and chum 'em up. The Lower Keys are home to an amazing array of sharks. How big? They range from awwwww isn’t it cute to Oh My God! Black tips, spinners, lemons, bulls and more. Face your fears, up close! These animals on light tackle are a fight and a half. Just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water you will find out exactly what is really lurking just below the surface.

Drifting the Basins

Come experience the untouched beauty that is the Great White Heron National Preserve nestled in the back country of Key West and the lower Keys. Action is the name of the game. Lots and lots of bites. A great trip for the kids or the kids at heart. When the conditions are right it can be a bite on every cast. Ladyfish! These aggressive and acrobatic fish are super cool! They jump out of the water like a little tarpon and put on a heck of show. They are so acrobatic that they get off the hook a lot so it is not unusual to get several bites on just a single cast. The varieties of fish in the basins can be amazing, while ladyfish are the most prevalent you just never know what may bite the hook next jacks, sea trout, pompano, barracudas, and let's not forget sharks of many species.

Work the Flats

Let’s hit the flats. We will pole some of the most gorgeous areas you have ever seen. Casting tube lure and spoons for barracudas and jacks all the while keeping our eyes open for permit and bonefish. 
We’ll bring some live crabs and shrimp. You never know what you might see. We'll work you around the skinny waters as we keep our eyes for the big payoff bonefish or permit. If you are patient and put you time in you may be rewarded with an outstanding fight.  Once we spot them you present the bait and watch the bite. It is a great reward for those willing to put in the time.
