I will be in Key West mid April and would
Like to find a guide for tarpon fishing. I have herd that tarpon fishing in the harbors and marinas can be quite good. No long boat ride just fishing quick. Anyone have any advice. Never been there.

Take Rip up on his offer if your down there the same time.. Bahia Honda is loaded with tarpon under the bridge that time of year. And plenty of guides around there.

Sounds like you are going to encounter a winner trip. You will experience some 'heart in the throat' moments when you hook one! They will jump, and jump higher than you are standing. Just Sayin...RJS

Compass Rose Charters was very good to me. Capt Mike took me on 1 of the best trips of my life.

Is everyone aware that before magnetic compasses were invented, it wasn't a compass rose based on Magnetic North, but a Wind Rose based on prevailing winds? Just Sayin...RJS

Compass Rose was the name of a WW 2 Royal Navy corvette featured in 'The Cruel Sea". Great movie and better book.

IF you find that interesting, research how magnetic North was discovered and were. Just Sayin...RJS
