Hi everybody I wanted to take a minute to make a short guide and teach you all about Tarpon fishing in the Florida Panhandle and fly fishing for tarpon in general.
The Tarpon ( magalops Atlanticius) Is among the most popular game fish in Florida. It’s well known for the tremendous acrobatics on the end of a line. they grow to massive size with the current IGF a world record at 286 pounds and 9 ounces. Tarpon are also called silver king or sabalo in Spanish. While they are edible people rarely eat tarpon because their flesh is filled with small hard to clean bones. Tarpon’s preferred water temperature is in the 73 to 90°F range. Making the Florida Panhandle a perfect place to fly fish for the silver king.

Are tarpon season in Apalachicola Bay and Florida Panhandle starts in early April and counties to be good through all the summer months until October. Most of my fly fishing anglers like May, June and July the best. Thought it seem that most of my light tackle tarpon fishing charters are in August and September when there is a lot of fish working the massive bait pods.
