| Probably the best tarpon fishing in the entire Caribbean thanks to the huge Marine park ecosystem that in only 10 years repopulate what everybody are now able to experience and most of all thanks to the low pressure flats/n# angler/year that allow Avalon to fish almost everyday in an untouched flat.
Numbers reflect only part of what reality can offer and not even 7,000 jumped tarpon per season can give you an idea what a regular tarpon fishing day can be. Tarpon are abundant in the island system, especially baby tarpon in the 20-50 pound class. Larger fish, 80-140 lbs are getting more and more common every year especially during March – June months. What you can expect is some of the hottest fishing for tarpon to be found anywhere in the world! Baby tarpon is a perfect fish to catch on a 10 weight fly rod, or on spin or bait casting tackle.
The many ’rivers’ and ’creeks’ flowing between islands are especially good at higher tide levels. Schools of bigger tarpons are often found right out on the flats, in two to six feet of water. The fishing is fast and exciting and all in sight casting. Schools of anchovies and glass minnows can often be found packed along the mangrove islands, and when you find baitfish in big concentrations like this, you’ll find hundreds of tarpon feeding on them. This can be total non-stop action! It is also thrilling to fish for tarpon at night, after dinner, when the tarpon will come to a popper with dramatic lunges, not for the faint of heart.
We also fish tarpon in the outside flats during dawn time especially if there is no wind around.
The habitat is similar to Jardines de la Reina with Mangroves, channels and deep flats where most of the tarpons caught were from 15lbs to over 120lbs. Is probably one of the best tarpon fishery in the world.
Low pressure, virgin flats and perfect habitat are the keys factors for this amazing fishing. From February till end of June big tarpons are out in the flats |
