Sight Fishing Silverkings; It’s Tarpon Time
Sight Fishing Silverkings;  It’s Tarpon Time article by Merry Beth Ryan
With lengths of over 8 feet long and weights of more than 280 pounds, it is easy to see why Tarpon are one of the most sought after saltwater gamefish in the world.

June means Tarpon time. Anglers come to Florida from all over the world to try to hook up with one of these jumbo-size “sardines.” If you’re looking for heart-stopping action Tarpon is the ticket. These chrome-plated acrobatic fish are sure to get your attention in a real hurry as they explode out of the water, putting on an arial show of a lifetime.

Patience is needed while stalking schools of Tarpon on the beaches. A Tarpon’s fighting ability is what truly sets the “King” apart from all others. To be hooked into a hundred-plus pound fish that clears the water usually over twice its body length is enough to get any angler’s adrenaline pumping.
