Tarpon fishing is by far our favorite type of fishing. Every year, we look forward to the tarpon migration. In Northwest Florida, the tarpon usually runs from May through August - with the best months being June and July. Tarpon are a very extraordinary fish and most of them are large in size (70-200 lbs). Just to see these fish swimming in schools is a thrill in itself! Let alone, to be blessed to have one on the line and witness their acrobatics, as they jump and skip across the water. It is a thrilling experience.
