After I told the folks at Dolphin Cove about my blog, they immediately said, "Feed the tarpon at Robbies!" Apparently, Robbie's Bayside is known as THE place to feed tarpon. The way it works is that you buy a bucket of fish and then join the crowd on the dock as they feed the crowd of tarpon in the water. One more thing. "Take off your rings and watches," we were warned by the dolphin trainers. "Those tarpon are quick." I assured them we'd take off our jewelry and off we went to Robbies.
Actually, those tarpon were BIG. Huge! They looked anywhere from four to six feet long, glittering green in the dappled sunlight as they came in for a hand-fed meal. There were hundreds of them schooling underneath the docks, and so I settled down with my bucket to feed them, holding my hand about a foot from the water (after, of course, removing my jewelry) and watched as a hungry tarpon headed my way.
