Calm water and warm breezes make it a pleasure to spend April days offshore on Key West’s world-class saltwater sportfishing grounds. Key West charter fishing gets busy in April as fisherman hit town with one fish on their minds – Tarpon. Tarpon have specific water temperature preferences and April is when the migration usually gets into full swing. Take a shot at Key West Tarpon fishing if you want to tangle with a prehistoric beast that commonly runs over 100lbs.
