And hey, nothing beats swapping fish tales over a cold drink at the end of the day!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Alright, let's dive into what makes tarpon such a bucket-list fish for anglers worldwide. These "silver kings" are the stuff of fishing legend, and for good reason. Tarpon in our waters can range from 30 to over 200 pounds, with most fish averaging around 80-120 pounds. They're known for their incredible strength, acrobatic leaps, and bone-crushing jaws.

Tarpon are migratory, showing up in our waters from late spring through early fall. Peak season is usually July to September, when the waters are warmest and bait is plentiful. These fish are prehistoric survivors, able to gulp air at the surface which allows them to thrive in oxygen-poor waters where other fish can't.

When you hook a tarpon, be ready for the fight of your life. They'll often make spectacular jumps, shaking their heads violently to throw the hook. It's not uncommon for a big tarpon to take you on a 30-minute rodeo ride before you can even think about landing it.

What makes tarpon fishing so addictive is the visual aspect. You'll often see them rolling at the surface or finning in clear, shallow water. That heart-stopping moment when a hundred-pound fish inhales your bait is something you'll never forget.

Remember, we practice catch and release with tarpon to ensure the population stays healthy for future generations. But don't worry – we'll make sure you get plenty of photos to prove your epic catch!
