"Can't catch a tarpon? Go feed one!" Top 5 Page for this destination Caye Caulker Things to Do Tip by Jefie

Parnell is another one of Caye Caulker's popular fishing guides and lately he has taken to feeding tarpons in his backyard, and a whole bunch of them can now be seen swimming around his dock every day. Although it might be tempting, no one - I repeat, no one - is allowed to fish there! However, visitors are more than welcome to buy a pack of sardines ($5) to feed these monstrous beasts of the sea. Tarpons are generally 5 to 8 foot long, and they can weigh up to 300 pounds so it does take quite a bit of courage to hold a sardine above the water until one of them snatches it right out of your hand! You don't have to worry about getting bitten, but you might get scratched a little. It's a small price to pay for all the fun you'll have, though!

If you want to see me feed one, you can take a look at the short video I've uploaded :o)

Directions: Parnell's house is located at the back of the island, not far from the Split. Just ask around, everyone knows him!
