Feeding the Tarpon fish at Robbie’s The story goes ( not confirmed) that the business of feeding the Tarpon started after Robbie found an injured one and kept it in a cage in the water just off his peer until it recovered. When he let the fish go , the fish didn’t go anywhere so he (Robbie) started feeding it but after a while the fish let other fish know where to get free grub and now it’s a lucrative business.🙂
