As seen here Tarpons love hanging out by the pilings under bridges just waiting to ambush their prey. This is why we said earlier it's a good idea to fish the shadow lines of the bridges here in Miami. As Tarpon mature, they prey on fish, particularly mid-water prey such as mullets, pinfish, sardines, well as larger invertebrates including shrimp and crabs. Tarpon feed during both day and night. Because of their small teeth, they generally swallow their prey whole. The tarpon is a favorite fish of sport fishermen and is known for its spectacular leaps when hooked in an attempt to get away. The flesh is very bony. The world record for tarpon caught using a hook and line is 282 lbs.. from Lake Maricaibo, Venezuela. When afraid, the tarpon produces sound in the form of thumps using its swim bladder. Tarpon can reach sizes up to 8 feet and can weigh up to 280 pounds. In The Florida Keys the record for the biggest tarpon caught was 243 pounds in Key West By Gus Bell, 2/17/1975. |
