TARPON FISHING TRIPS

Tarpon are famous for their explosive strikes, blistering runs, and breathtaking leaps that often throw the hook. After the hookset, anglers should "bow to the king" by lowering the rod tip whenever the fish jumps to reduce tension and help prevent the hook from pulling free. Landing a large tarpon can take anywhere from a few minutes to well over an hour, depending on the size of the fish and the conditions. For fly-fishing trips, most often, two anglers fish from the same boat and take turns casting approximately every 30 minutes, or until a tarpon is landed.

Holbox Island offers fly or spin fishing for baby and large tarpon and permit with legendary head guide Sandflea.
