Tarpon, The Silver King is the king of all game fish offshore terms, they have a long time to their way of life was perfect. They have about 125 million years, the age of dinosaurs have been, was comeing to an end. The Tarpon’s rudimentary lung, the only fish to have one, makes it possible to survive on the surface of air consumed drink, and oxygen in water. They spawn offshore, and return their larvae such as the struggle for existence as they travel coastal fisheries. next few months after the rapid growth of larval form and take on the unmistakable appearance of juvenile tarpon, complete with oversized eyes and mirror scales. The young people head for the estuaries, with predators not far behind, knowing instinctively that they feel comfortable only when they reach water, so stagnant, that their enemies can not survive there. In the clear waters off the Florida Keys, you will see a school of tarpon heading your way. Sunlight shines through their mirror-like body, they swallow air with their huge heads, and each fish seems to be larger than. Sometimes one has to know not whether you reach for your fishing rod or a lifeline. You ask, “Is it possible that some land”. Yes anglers land they do. Out of 10 encounters with anglers Tarpon probably win nine of them. The average tarpon can be found in the Keys encounter is about 75 lbs. And if it went straight on, instead, with towering hard jumps, landing, it would be almost impossible. And boy, like her! Normally, jump, feels the Tarpon the hook, and take to the air again. His jumps are sometimes 10 feet in the air abandonement with wild, a creature propelling itself from its own environment, in a foreign one with no thought to the consequences. Heavy tackle, floating a live bait or bait fish on the floor, and a quick-release system anchoreing is the most reliable method. anglers in small boats or from shore Tarpon can on standard bait casting tackle to catch. They hit jigs, crank baits, soft plastic baits, and many of the baits used in fresh and salt water. Many anglers would say that the number one technology for both the challenge and the excitement is with the philosophical Tarpon fly rods in clear water. Sight fishing combines the Tarpon exciteing aspects of hunting and fishery. Many years ago the fishing stripers here in New England and Bluefish, I would always dream for the Silver King fishing in the keys. Even after all these years, in my book, The Florida Keys Tarpon is still the Ultimate Game Fish
