GARDENS OF THE KING, CUBA HOSTED TRIP
A group of us had a great time at Gardens of the King, and Cayo Ensenachos resort earlier this summer. Several people wanted to return, and have talked friends in to joining. As of today, we have 3 available spots open. Below are details. Please reach out if you have any questions. We would love to have you along!
Tim Cudney and our guide Elyses with a perfect Tarpon from GOK
Gardens of the King is highly regarded as a Tarpon fishery. Both residents and migratory fish flourish here, and numbers increase dramatically starting in late Spring and continue on through Summer. Most of our time will be spent seeking Tarpon in bays, channels, and even the open ocean. Most of the fish are between 30 and 80 pounds, although many fish over 100 pounds are caught every season. To add to the variety, there are also some Bonefish, and chances at Permit, Snappers, Jacks and Barracuda.
