March Madness on the Water: Tarpon, Cobia & Bull Sharks Heating Up Key West Fishing Charters

East winds have been consistent throughout March, and the Florida Keys fishing has been absolutely firing — especially for anglers targeting tarpon in Key West and the surrounding flats. Big pods of silver kings are pushing through the channels and backcountry, making this one of the best Key West tarpon seasons we’ve seen in years.

Pinfish and Hogy lures have been the bait of choice for our Key West fishing charters lately. The tarpon aren’t the only ones showing up — we’re also seeing schools of jack crevalle and some cobia mixed in, keeping the action nonstop on our Florida Keys fishing trips.

Most of the cobia being caught have been shorts, but they’re still a blast to catch on light tackle, with a few legal fish hitting the deck as well. If you’re planning a Key West offshore fishing charter, keep your eyes peeled — these fish are showing up in some unexpected spots.

Bull sharks are showing up in just about every channel, making them a must-target for anglers looking for a fight on our Key West shark fishing trips. A large jack head on #10 wire is getting the job done if you’re after some serious drag-screaming action. Whether you’re new to Florida Keys shark fishing or a seasoned angler, this is the time to get out there.

Now booking Key West fishing charters for spring — don’t miss out on this action-packed bite! Contact us today to reserve your spot on one of the best fishing charters in the Florida Keys.
