Strong Tides & Strong Tarpon

June 17, 2010

The next 3 weeks tarpon fishing will greatly improve. Tarpon are now in their pre-spawn phase and will have huge appetites. During this time they won’t be very picky eaters.  Ideally you want to fish around the new and full moon on the strong outgoing tides.

 Spending a little time dipping up pass crabs as they float by can yield huge dividends. Tarpon will congregate in large numbers near the sunshine skyway and Egmont key. If you choose to fish artificial you can’t go wrong with imitation crabs like those from Culprit and Riptide, DOA, and Berkley Gulp. Just get out and have fun and remember to try and use stout tackle and leave the fish in the water for better survival. Until next time tight lines!
