How We Fish

Tarpon

Tarpon are one of the most iconic sport fish in Florida, revered for their size and strength. These ancient-looking fish can grow to be enormous, and their signature move is a powerful, jumping run when hooked. We often find them in shallower waters like bays and flats, especially during the warmer months, but they also venture offshore. Catching a Tarpon requires patience and the right approach, whether it's pitching live mullet or crabs, casting large flies, or working topwater plugs.
