The prime time to catch a Tarpon also known as the "Silver King" is during their annual migration, which typically occurs from late April through July. During these months, large schools of Tarpon congregate in the warm coastal waters, offering anglers the best opportunity to hook into one of these magnificent fish. The peak of the season is usually in May and June, when the Tarpon are most abundant and active, providing thrilling fishing experiences for both novice and experienced anglers alike.
