Tarpon fishing has been our favorite fishing method. Each year we look forward to the tarpon movement. In Northwest Florida, the tarpon migration usually takes place from May to August. The best months are June and July. Tarpon are extraordinary fish. They can reach 70 to 200 lbs. The sight of these fish swimming in schools is an amazing experience!
