Throwback Tarpon Thursday 🐟 Reeling it back to 1927, when tarpon fishing was already making waves in Venice. A century later, the thrill is still the same, but today, we fish smarter to protect this iconic species.

🎣 Know before you go:
• Tarpon is a catch-and-release only 
• Fish over 40 inches must remain in the water 
• Keep the fish, especially the gills, in the water as much as possible
• Hook and line only, no snagging, spearing, or multi-hook rigs with natural bait

Help us keep this 100-year tradition alive for the next generation.  Learn more about Tarpon fishing from MyFWC Florida Fish and Wildlife:  https://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/tarpon/
