{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Key West | DIY Baby Tarpon & Peacock Bass

Check in with Fly Shop of Miami for advice on Peacock - there are a ton of canal systems in south Miami that should give you a good shot at Peacock - if you have a friend down by Biscayne fishing is like everything else in Miami its always better to know somebody.

Juvenile Tarpon should be abundant in April withe some migratory fish there as well not sure of how much time you have but I would definitely recommend getting a guide if you can out of Islamorada - its a great way to catch fish and really see the islands 

For food recommendations I agree with the Lorilei its an awesome spot lots of local guides there - but if you are driving down my two favorite spots are definitely Alabama Jacks on Cardsound road (best conch fritters in the keys) and you can not beat the view 

And then on Stock Island right before Key West is Hogfish Grille get the hogfish sandwich on cuban bread its redonkulous

We're driving to the Conch Republic in early April. My goal is to catch a baby tarpon. 

If anyone has info, Google Map drop pin, rumors, urban legends, etc on catching a baby tarpon from Bahia Honda to Key West I would be grateful. No need to share here, you can e-mail me directly. I've been looking at Google Maps/Earth for some spots with moving tides, dock lights, lights at night, restaurants with lights, and channels to prep for fishing. 

I also plan on chasing peacocks south of Miami for an hour or two on the way down and back. Hoping to meet up with a friend that lives on Biscayne Bay and see what swims around him. 

Any suggestions on things to see and do or eat? I plan on stopping at Robbies and World Wide Sportsman on the way down. I'll get a hoagie at Publix to see if they are as good as everyone says. Wife is interested in seafood and fresh fruits. 

Based on recent reports I'll be tying up some saltwater versions of the Snowhite Damsel.
