Florida tarpon fishing is extremely popular, and there are many charters and fishing trips available all over the state. They can be caught with lures, flies or live bait and are considered mostly to be a catch and then release fish. Fishing for tarpon in the waters off Florida can be enjoyed just about any time of year, although the best tarpon fishing season in Florida is May and June. The further south in the state you travel, the larger a window you have. Tarpon are commonly found in south Florida during the winter months, as water temperatures in the rest of the state drop. September to November is also a popular time to fish for Tarpon in and around the Florida Everglades. It’s worth becoming familiar with the migratory patterns of tarpon, to increase your chances of a successful fishing trip any time of year.
