Tarpon Caye has a deep lagoon on the West side, which is protected by tall red mangrove trees. This lagoon is a hot tarpon fishing spot.You will have also lots of opportunities for permit and bonefish according to the right tide. There is also a good variety of other game fish like jacks, barracuda, snapper, mackerel and other species. This fishing area of Tarpon Caye Lodge is covered with hundreds of square miles of flats.
