With over 30 years’ experience catching Tarpon, your YACHTFISH Captain will locate these beauties around beaches, shipping channels, bridges, passes and artificial reefs. Tarpon are a schooling fish often found rolling in large numbers while they migrate north along the beaches in the summer months. Some of the baits these monsters will hit are pinfish, scaled sardines, threadfin herring and crabs. They also like dead mullet, shad and ladyfish sitting on the bottom. The best way to catch Tarpon will be sight fishing in the early morning and late afternoon when the sun is setting. Because Tarpon are a catch and release fish, it is imperative the Captain knows not only how to catch them, but how to properly release them unharmed. You’ll have a day unlike any other! Hard runs, jaw-dropping leaps and heart-pounding excitement is a certainty. The Tarpon will strike your bait hard and you’ll really feel it as the Tarpon takes a run and rips hundreds of feet of line off your reel. The fight can take you to your knees and sometimes will last up to 25 minutes, even for the most skilled angler. The reward is seeing a 20-200 pound Tarpon alongside the boat that you can boast about for years to come.
