Jim in CT ... who did you book for the trip? There are a lot of great captains down there, and the wreck fishing and bottom fishing can be amazing ... also, a friend of mine was there over night ... they went over in a 54-foot sportfisherman with two 27-33 - foot center consoles, and had tarpon in the harbor at the fort in the early morning. It's almost that season, the tarpon fishing is on in Key West Harbor right now, but I would have to imagine that the weather has been reflective of up here ... warm like we have had ... when you get four days or so of light winds and extra warm weather in March, the resident tarpon start to get active in the cuts and channels ... we usually pursued them with fly rods, but plugs and jigs, soft baits and bait works great too ... I would not be surprised to see some down in that area, if the area is not over run with boats ... when you are wreck fishing, you're not looking for tarpon, but if you are around the fort early in the morning, keep your eyes open.
