Mississippi is a great tarpon mystery. In the 1920-1930s it was a tarpon destination! Shortly there after they disappeared. They have been showing up in recent years, and the Gulf Coast Research Lab got funding to satellite them. They are mostly south of the islands.
@The Snowflake Hunter Those Old timers also persecuted black people for sitting on the wrong seat on a bus. I would not trust "some one just told me so" research. I'll enlighten you. The most damage to the Tarpon population has been habitat loss. Tarpon are a migratory species that rely on specific water conditions. Mangrove loss is a big factor as well as shoreline restructuring according to the Bonefish and Tarpon Trust research team (2019). Florida has lost 50% of their mangrove forests according to those researchers. Conservation really wasn't around until the 70s. Another example is over fishing by pop up "Tarpon towns". The fish decided to move to open water as the water quality changed as these towns sprang up (Harrigan, 2013). Bonefish and Tarpon Trust. (2019). Juvenile Tarpon Habitat Initiative .

Research is the key to successful fisheries.
LA Redfish Addict yes sir!
I didn't know that there was tarpon here in Mississippi. Is it near the barrier islands?
