Tarpon, the Silver King, is the ultimate inshore game fish. Anglers love its explosive runs and high jumps that test skills. Tarpon fishing promises heart-pounding action and unforgettable moments on the water.Most trips focus on inshore fishing across bays, flats, and mangroves. Guides use live bait like Mullet, Pinfish, Crab, and Shrimp, or lures. Spinning and fly fishing work well when fish roll or cruise shallow. Cast ahead of the fish and move the bait naturally. When it jumps, lower the rod tip to keep the hook pinned.Expect early starts, sight casting, and powerful fights that can last. Beginners and experts both enjoy this challenge with a patient captain. Wear polarized sunglasses to spot fish and protect your eyes. Bring sun protection, water, and a camera; pack light and secure items.Many places practice catch and release for large Tarpon. Always check local fishing license, permit, season, and harvest rules. Regulations vary by area and change often, so confirm before you go.

<blockquote>
	
		Tarpon is a majestic creature, highly sought after for its strength, stubbornness and spectacular acrobatic moves, which are often comprised of up to 10&#39; leaps and violent body shakes aimed at release from your hook.
</blockquote>

	Otherwise known as the &quot;Silver King,&quot;&nbsp;this prehistoric water dweller (with an estimated existence of about 125 million years) was one of the first saltwater species to have been declared a game fish and represents a true epitome of sport fishing.

	Anglers throughout Florida are pressed on checking a Tarpon fight off their bucket list, and for a good reason&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;landing one represents an angling right of passage; the process leading up to that point entailing understanding this animal&#39;s motions, which is considered an artwork in and of itself.

	There&#39;s a reason why the King has been around for so long&nbsp;&ndash;&nbsp;all of the years of its evolution have been invested into learning how to put up a fight. They&#39;re known for breaking lines, which usually happens&nbsp;as soon as they suck up the bait or rocket out of the water.

	<img alt="Tarpon jumping out of the water" src="https://fishingbooker.com/img/fish/content/93347-39327-8548a9ca6038c3f21924f148234698f7--2-.jpg" />
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
	Do you think you have what it takes? You&#39;ll get hooked on hooking Tarpon.</h5>
<h2>
	How big</h2>

	Tarpon grow slowly and can live up to 50 years. They reach reproductive maturity at 6&ndash;7 years, by when they&#39;re about 4&#39; large. Adults (15&ndash;30 years old) average at about 5 to 6&#39; in length and 100 to 150 lbs in weight. The majority of hooked Tarpon of all ages will be between 25 and 80l bs, whereas once in a lifetime trophy catches are monoliths of up to 8&#39; and 300 lbs.

<h5 style="text-align: center;">
	Gentle beast reeled in out of <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=venice">Venice</a>, FL</h5>
<h2>
	Where &amp; When</h2>

	Tarpon like warm temperate tropical and subtropical waters, and can be found as far north as Long Island and down south to Brazil, east until the end of the Texas coastline&nbsp;and west to the brinks of Africa.

	When spawning during spring, females lay millions of eggs offshore, which drift freely to the shoreline, entering freshwater streams, where they hatch. Young tarpon spend their developing years close to shore, only to venture out into the ocean upon maturing, where they become hard to trace. Due to this, optimal waters to target them in will be shallow flats to nearshore waters up to 40&ndash;50&#39; deep.

	The Kings are able to thrive in shallow, deoxigenated, waters due to their unique ability&nbsp;to gulp air into their air bladder by rolling at the surface. They feed at dawn and at dusk, so the best times during the day will be around 5:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.

	Tarpon is good to fish wherever you are in Florida, the most notable fishing grounds including:

	Gulf coast: Up from Homossassa, through the <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=tampa">Tampa Bay</a> area, including <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=clearwater">Clearwater</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=st-petersburg">St Pete</a>, the island of <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/fish/destination/tarpon/us/FL/boca-grande">Boca Grande</a> (the oldest and hottest tarpon fishery) down over <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=sarasota">Sarasota</a>, Captiva, Estero&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=sanibel">Sanibel</a>&nbsp;islands, to <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=naples">Naples</a>&nbsp;and the <a href="https://fishingbooker.com/charters/search/us/FL?search_location=everglades">Everglades</a>.

<h2>
	How to catch</h2>

	As fully grown Tarpon are usually invisible in deep waters, they are mostly targeted in the flats, with sight casting live bait or flies being the most popular fishing choices. Bait options include live mullet, pinfish, crabs, shrimp and similar, but casting or trolling with spoons, plugs, or artificials is also efficient.&nbsp;

	Brutes as they are, Tarpon are actually easily scared by noises, so the vessel used should be propelled by an electric motor or, better yet, pole paddled to the spotted small pods or large schools of fish.

	This is where skill and measure kick in&nbsp;&ndash; when spotted,&nbsp;you should cast your bait in front of the fish close enough for it to be seen and allow it to to drop down. In calm water this distance should be greater, so as not to frighten the fish. An experienced guide is important to have, as they will help you handle Tarpon&#39;s audacious initial runs, advise when to apply pressure/relax the line and will know whether to chase the fish or hold position.

	A very important rule of thumb you should remember is &quot;bow to the King&quot;&nbsp;&ndash; when the Tarpon jumps, quickly&nbsp;lower the tip of your rod&nbsp;and push it ahead to give slack - this will help keep your line from being severed by the tarpon&#39;s gill plates and body, or&nbsp;your hook thrown by the frantic shaking of their massive, bony, head. One more rule&nbsp;&ndash; if he&#39;s a big one, never take the King fully out of the water or it might die.
