Tarpon Dock - Robbie's Marina, Islamorada, USA

This dock in Islamorada is one of the most famous fish-feeding spots in the Florida Keys, all big silver fish, hungry pelicans and plenty of laughter. Just below the boards, dozens of tarpon circle and wait, some of them well over 100 pounds (45 kg).


Visitors buy a bucket of bait, dangle a fish over the edge and watch a tarpon burst out of the water to grab it. The pelicans know the routine too, which is why there's a sign asking people not to feed them.


Around the dock are boats, kayaks and a busy waterfront market. Tarpon are known as the silver king, and the Florida Keys are one of the best places in the world to fish for them.


Did You Know? Tarpon can gulp air from the surface, using their swim bladder like a lung. It helps them survive in warm, low-oxygen water.
