Imagine150 pounds of a chrome rocket launching out of the water and then taking off on a 200-yard run, while dancing on its tail to the tune of your screaming drag; welcome to the world of tarpon fishing. Megalops Atlanticus aka Tarpon, Silver kings, the Silver Bullet, from the upper Keys to the Venice Pier, Sarasota Bay, the Sunshine Skyway and Egmont Channel, The tarpon fishing has been pretty consistent for the month of April and it is only going to get better with May and June around the corner. This is prime time for migrating fish. Some people prefer to fly fish for ocean cruising fish, or laid up fish in the backcountry, and others rather catch them on bait. It really does not matter how you catch them, they are one of the most exciting fish to catch on any tackle heavy to light with light being the bear of them all and not recommended unless you possess a permit because the lactose build up in the fish is a sure killer on light tackle landings. Tarpon have an affinity for points, bridges, rivers, channels, hard bottoms and cuts while alluring itself into areas of stagnant water devoid of all others with the exception of any large pod of baitfishes. Engorging food with minimal effort to its maximum affordability.
