Species Spotlight


Tarpon


Tarpon are mainly targeted in Tampa Bay from May through August but encounters with the "silver king" are not uncommon year round. The fish range in size from 10lbs to 200lbs+. Fish in the 75-125lb range are frequently caught during the peak fishing season. Tarpon eat a variety of baits including threadfin herring, scaled sardines, and crabs. A large portion of the tarpon population are migratory while another portion of the population are resident fish. The migratory fish will travel from the Florida Keys to the northern Gulf of Mexico during the year.  The residential fish will stay in Tampa Bay year round but will move around from the beaches, to the bridges, rivers, and canals.
