Yes, you have a strong chance of catching tarpon on a Key West fishing charter in May because the spring migration is in full swing around Key West Harbor. A private trip is the better fit when tarpon is your main target, since the captain has more freedom to plan around tides and fish activity. Captain Conch Charters offers a customizable private charter aboard a 34ft Crusader for 4 to 8hrs. Tarpon are catch and release only in Florida, and fish over 40in must remain in the water.
