Notes
I always try to release tarpon as soon as possible; I choose not to lift tarpon completely out of the water for photographs. Many guides, marine biologists and fisheries experts agree that the mortality rate of the tarpon is significantly increased by an untimely release - mostly due to predation. There are other viable options that will capture the memory such as video taping the fight or a photo at the side of the boat during the release.
Best Time
Tarpon fishing in January, February and March can be the best of the year, but weather dependent and is not a "sure thing" like April, May, June and July. Cold fronts in the late Fall and early Spring can compromise the great early tarpon fishing with high winds and cool water temperatures so a backup plan like snook fishing is a very good idea until the water warms up and the wind subsides. By late March through July the tarpon are on their migratory tracks and sight fishing opportunities are a given regardless of the weather. You can't count them out literally any month of the year Oct, Nov, and December can be very good months with the right weather conditions.
