Tarpon Fishing 101
Tarpon Fishing in South Florida is
one of the most exhilarating
experiences known on the planet!  

From the time they start rolling
around the boat
Crashing on Bait till
 your captain safely releases the
fish to fight another day, that fish
has implanted a memory that will
stay with you for the rest of your
life!
-
the acrobatic jumps, the violent
crashing of water, the long
screaming runs, the overall respect
you gain after the fight
truly gives it the name
"Silver King"
If its Tarpon that has been haunting
your dreams then you aren't alone.  
Many Anglers  dream of the day
they may meet the
Silver King
again.  Tarpon can be caught in
South Florida all year long. During
Tarpon Season in South Florida
(March-June)
you can expect to follow the old
saying
"Early to Bed, Early to Rise,
Fish all Day, and Hope to not
make up Lies!"
A typical morning starts by
meeting at the ramp about 30
Minutes before first light. The
reason being a Tarpon is primarily
a nocturnal eating species so
fishing the first few hours of
daylight are very crucial.

The first thing anyone should ever
do before they think of catching one
of these beasts is make sure they
are prepared before they leave the
dock.  Most backcountry guides in
South Florida dress in
light colored,
light weight, long sleeve, long pant

clothing.  Believe me this is not a
fashion statement we are making
down here.  It is because the sun is
relentless and sometimes
mosquitoes can be an issue in the
backcountry and the clothing
protects us.
Polarized Sunglasses are a must. I
recommend the best Costa Del Mar
Sunglasses.
And of course a hat, suntan lotion,
and lots of water.
Once you have all these things get
ready for the time of your life!
