Tavenier (Florida Keys) help

Wow, theses Keys posts have been a popular thread lately.
So I’m trailering the boat down to Tavernier at the end of the week for a week. I’ve got spare time, jack, etc…all good.

Anyone fished out of Tavernier? This is my first trip down and(as usual) I’m in charge of boating/Fishing activities so I want to keep it local till I get a lay of the land. We are on the ocean side somewhat near the Winn-Dixie. Any suggestion for my first couple days on the water? Are there tarpon or permit near the Tavernier Creek Bridge?

Just buy a “Hot Spots” chart for that area when you get there.

Fished two days offshore down there last year. I know the captain
mentioned that there was a nice reef just a couple of miles offshore.
Looked like a lot of boats fishing it.

We sent a week in Tavernier early June 2010. It was great. Yes the cut between the bay side and the ocean side was full of tarpon.

I fish out of Summerland Key a little ways down the road. The offshore bite has been hot the past 3 days since the wind has laid down. I’m going out again the next 3 days so I hope it holds up. Give me a call if you want to talk fishing.
