Tarpon

There is no greater excitement than seeing the tarpon tear through the pogie or mullet bait pods. In our area, the larger tarpon is found off the beaches in the summer. On the east coast, the tarpon is primarily an Inshore or Nearshore fish.

Tarpon are often seen rolling on the surface gulping air while lurking for food or taking it easy between feeding sessions. We mainly fish for them with live bait allowing us to catch other prevalent summertime species such as bonito and kingfish.  When you see tarpon roll on the surface, it’s a good chance you can cast your live bait and hook into one.  Once on the line you better be prepared as the tarpon has a great air show, liking to skyrocket out of the water. It’s an incredible fight that will wear you out, but it’s all worth the while when you hook into one of these sought-after game fish.
