Tarpon Fishing in the Mexico Beach, Florida Area
Tarpon migrate into this area from late spring through fall. The fishing is usually best in the summer along the beaches. With no inshore water here or passes, there is less here to help congregate the fish, so you may have to cover some water if you’re searching along the beaches for migratory tarpon.
Tarpon Fishing Tips
While many anglers may run into smaller tarpon and catch them without much effort, to consistently target bigger tarpon, you need to make sure you have the right tackle & equipment so things go your way. Tarpon will eat a variety of baits, so you have a lot of options when it comes to live & cut baits or artificial lures. The time of year is very important as well since tarpon will migrate a long way up and down both the Gulf & Atlantic Coasts each year.
