Hungry Tarpon

So heading back from Memorial Day weekend in the Keys we stopped off at the Hungry Tarpon in Islamorada to show a few of our out-of-town guests what tarpon look like.

For a couple of bucks you can purchase bait in a bucket to feed the tarpon. I remember one of our friends saying they didn't want to buy a bucket since their hands would smell the whole way home -- that decision was changed once they saw the fish jump out of the water to eat.

As I crouched on the dock to take this photo and others with my phone, I noticed that the fish could see the reflection and some jumped out of the water at times.

The Hungry Tarpon is one of our favorite 'stop-offs' when we visit the Keys. I definitely recommend it if you haven't been.
