When you arrive you will have the chance to buy a small bucket of food for a few dollars and then proceed to the jetty’s were should you have the courage, lay down with bait in hand and the Tarpon will leap
out of the water and take the food straight from your hand. Be warned though, Tarpon have a huge mouth and will happily, if only momentarily, grab your hand also.
