Tarpon Anonymous at Hawk’s Cay chose Hawk’s Cay Resort as its home base for its proximity to the best tarpon flats of the middle keys. In the last 3 years most of the tarpon tournament champions were fishing these flats around Duck Key even though they are rather far from the starting location of Islamorada. When these talented guides need to catch fish they bounce in the boat for 20 miles to get here, you will have a 5- 15 minute ride to these same flats. Occasionally we will wander to the back country or lower keys if we feel the weather, tides, or conditions dictate it. All of our guides can trailer their boats to any starting position they choose.
The day will begin with coffee and a full breakfast served at your villa. Fishing will usually start around 8 am but sometimes the guides may prefer a later start to fish the evening bite. If the tide dictates fishing late we fish late. WE may fish both the end of the day and the beginning of the day.
Sight fishing is the preferred method and you will find white sand flats, turtle grass flats and rocky coral bottom flats of many colors. Your guide will know exactly where the tarpon will be, even on a cloudy day we can find fish on some of the huge white sand flats in the area. If we have the luxury of full sun we can fish the cuts, banks and flats of the back country as well as the productive darker bottom flats as well.
Tarpon can be found holding in current actively eating, they can be found laid up in a slack tide, they can be found in migration schools of 200 fish or singles and doubles and everything in between. Each day and tide brings new opportunities for you and your guide. Our success will be largely based on the weather, the anglers skills and the fickleness of the tarpon that particular day. Tarpon during this time range from 40 – 200 pounds. The average fish we hook is 60 – 80 pounds
