Why the Everglades is the Best Place for Tarpon Fishing?

The Everglades is a prime destination for Tarpon, where the diverse ecosystems create an ideal habitat for these powerful fish. Juvenile Tarpon, weighing from 1 to 50 pounds, frequent the mangrove-lined creeks and shorelines, providing exciting action in shallower waters. Meanwhile, massive adult Tarpon, some exceeding 200 pounds, patrol the deeper flats, bays, and river mouths, ready to test your skills and gear to the limit.

Best Time to Catch Tarpon in the Everglades

Maximize your Tarpon fishing success by targeting the peak months of March through July when water temperatures soar above 75 degrees, attracting large schools of Tarpon. These months offer the best chance to hook into a trophy-sized fish as they feed aggressively in preparation for their migration. Even during the cooler months, Tarpon can be found during warmer spells, making them a year-round target for dedicated anglers.
