We went to Islamorada in the Florida Keys to hand feed monster tarpon at a place called Robbie's.  In addition to the monster tarpon that were there to feed fish to, there were countless aggressive pelicans and some huge jack crevalle, too.

We went quite early, and got there about 8:00 on a Tuesday, and had the place to ourselves for about a half hour.  At about 9:00 it was quite busy with several people feeding the tarpon.  I actually liked it better when there was more people because then you could avoid the mean pelicans and actually toss fish to the tarpon and jack crevalle.  Hand feeding them isn't recommended as the tarpon will leap out of the water and bite your hand if you don't let go.  The pelicans will try to bite you, too, so be careful.  The most effective strategy would be to toss your fish where the tarpon are swimming, and where the pelicans aren't around.

After we fed the giant tarpon and huge jack crevalle, we ate at the restaurant that was right on the water appropriately called "The Hungry Tarpon."  If you get there early enough you can get great tables right next to the docks where you can see everyone else feeding the monster tarpon while you get to eat some breakfast or lunch.
