Feeding Tarpon at Robbie's on Islamorada in the Florida Keys
We went to Robbie's Marina on the island of Islamorada in the Florida keys to hand feed the Tarpon and pelicans. We didn't want to feed the pelicans but they stole our fish. That place is a must stop if you are driving hwy 1 down to Key West. Top Ten stop in the keys. The tide was down so they didn't jump out to get the fish like we would have liked but it was still super fun.

Islamorada:
Islamorada, a Village of Islands, is an incorporated village in Monroe County, Florida, United States. It is located on the islands of Tea Table Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Windley Key and Plantation Key in the Florida Keys.
The name Islamorada (Original meaning: Island Home after the Pinder family schooner of that name), newly nicknamed, The Purple Isle, came from early Spanish explorers in the area. Its pronunciation has been anglicized to eye-lah-moh-RA-da.
Islamorada was hit almost directly by the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935, causing 423 deaths. A memorial, including the ashes of over 300 victims, exists today at Overseas Highway mile marker 82.
Hall of Fame baseball player Ted Williams began visiting Islamorada in 1943 and for the next 45 years was the island's most well-known resident. After his retirement from baseball he became the national spokesman for Sears sporting goods and became renowned for his abilities as a fisherman. Over the decades, he hosted numerous celebrities at his Islamorada house and took them on local fishing trips. Williams’ residency in Islamorada ended in 1988 when he moved to Hernando, Florida. Williams cited the island’s increased development as his reason for leaving. He reportedly said that he knew it was time to leave when he could no longer make a left turn on to U.S. Route 1 because of the traffic.
The village was incorporated on November 4, 1997. Prior to this date, Islamorada was only considered to be on the island of Upper Matecumbe Key.
As of the 2010 census, the village had a total population of 6,119. As of 2009, the population recorded by the United States Census Bureau is 6,435.

Robbie’s Marina of Islamorada
HAND FEEDING TARPON AT ROBBIES IN THE FLORIDA KEYS! ???? | ROBBIES ISLAMORADA????
We went hand feeding tarpon at Robbie's Marina in Islamorada in the Florida Keys.
Robbie's Marina
Robbie’s rests peacefully among coconut palms with shimmering views of the nearby islands where the unspoiled Florida Bay and the exquisite Atlantic Ocean converge. Cooled by the gentle tradewinds, and cantilevered over crystal-clear aquamarine waters, with a private sandy beach, one cannot help but understand why so many artists have chosen this place to immortalize in paintings. Robbie’s comprises quaint and discreet pavilions surrounded by lush tropical landscaping offering a taste of everything the Keys has to offer.
Feeding Tarpon
“Amazing,” “breathtaking” and “impressive” are words we often hear from first-time visitors. What they’re referring to is the school of more than 100 tarpon that come here daily and linger for hours. Occasionally, a tarpon actually rises up from the water in a powerful flash of silver and green to meet the fish as it leaves your hand. It’s a sight to behold! Maybe the “Silver Kings” just come here to see the humans, but toss a baitfish among them and the water churns as these monsters and the resident pelicans vie for the snack, causing quite a spectacle. Admission to the dock is $1 per person, and each bucket of fish is $3 (tax not included).
Robbie and his wife Mona started feeding Scarface in 1976. Scarface appeared floundering in the shallow waters near the dock; Robbie saw the struggling tarpon and, thinking it had swum too shallow and gotten stuck on the bank, went out into the water to free it. He lifted the fish and saw that the right side of its jaw was torn open. Hoping to revive the tarpon, Robbie placed it in the oxygen-rich shrimp tank and called old Doc Roach. The doctor showed up with his wife’s mattress needles and some twine, and Scarface became the first known tarpon with stitches. After several days of force-feeding, Scarface showed good recovery and weight gain; six months later he was released into the waters off the dock. Afterwards, Scarface continued to frequent the docks; sometimes bringing a friend. Soon more and more of the fish began to appear. Today, the tradition continues, with visitors from all across the world coming to marvel at the spectacle and offer these magnificent creatures a snack.

Bass Pro Shops Islamorada, Florida
We needed some fishing gear so we took the Hewes Redfisher over to Bass Pro Shops - Islamorada, Florida for a little shopping. Lots of great fishing stuff in there! Oh & the Pilar is there. It's a replica of Ernest Hemmingways boat he used to take over to Cuba. Thought we'd show you around a little. If you have never seen it, it's pretty cool.

The Florida Keys are a coral cay archipelago located off the southern coast of Florida, forming the southernmost portion of the continental United States. They begin at the southeastern coast of the Florida peninsula, about 15 miles (24 km) south of Miami, and extend in a gentle arc south-southwest and then westward to Key West, the westernmost of the inhabited islands, and on to the uninhabited Dry Tortugas. The islands lie along the Florida Straits, dividing the Atlantic Ocean to the east from the Gulf of Mexico to the northwest, and defining one edge of Florida Bay. At the nearest point, the southern part of Key West is just 90 miles (140 km) from Cuba. The Florida Keys are between about 23.5 and 25.5 degrees North latitude.
