What to Expect on the Water

This isn't your typical tourist excursion - we're talking real deal tarpon fishing in some of Grand Cayman's most productive bays and inlets. We'll start by picking you up at a time that works best for you and the fish. Early morning or late afternoon? Your call. Once we're out, we'll set up in known tarpon hotspots. These fish love to hang around structure, so we might be casting near mangroves, bridges, or deep channels. The beauty of inshore fishing is the calm waters, making it comfortable for everyone on board. You'll be using light tackle, which means when a tarpon hits, you're in for a real fight. Don't worry if you're new to this - your guide will be right there to coach you through every cast and hookup.

Top Catches This Season

When it comes to tarpon fishing, it's all about technique. We'll be using a mix of live bait and artificial lures, depending on what's working best that day. You might find yourself tossing a big topwater plug, working a soft plastic, or letting a live mullet do the work. The key is patience and being ready for that explosive strike. Tarpon are known for their acrobatic jumps, so keep that rod tip up when one takes your bait! We use light tackle to make the fight more sporty, but don't worry - we've got heavier gear if we need to horse in a real monster. And remember, in Grand Cayman, it's all about catch and release for tarpon. We'll make sure you get some great photos before sending these silver beauties back to fight another day.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Tarpon, often called the "Silver King," are the stars of this show. These prehistoric-looking fish can grow massive in the waters around Grand Cayman, with some topping 100 pounds or more. They're known for their hard fights and spectacular aerial displays when hooked. Tarpon have a unique ability to gulp air, which lets them survive in oxygen-poor waters and gives them incredible stamina during a fight. In Grand Cayman, we see tarpon year-round, but the bite really heats up from late spring through fall. These fish are most active during low light conditions, which is why we offer flexible start times. Dawn and dusk can be absolutely electric, with rolling tarpon creating a sound like distant thunder on the water's surface. While they're not considered good eating, the sheer challenge and excitement of hooking into a big tarpon keeps anglers coming back year after year.
