Tarpon Season: The Best Time To Fish
Tarpon season is a great time of year especially if you are a Florida tarpon fisherman. I wouldn't per se call it much of a season as it is just a wonderful time to fish. But since it is pretty much cyclical I guess you could call it a season. So, just when is this magical time of year? During the great annual tarpon migration of course.
Tarpon Season: The Three Magical Months
Reason being that those three magical months are the absolute best time for Tarpon season is that they are returning from their mating rituals into the rich warm waters of the Florida coast absolutely famished and HUNGRY!

The Best Tarpon Fishing Book Ever!
"This is one of the best books ever compiled and published about specific regionalized fishing techniques. It might just rival Vic Dunaway's classic, Baits, Rigs and Tackle. This book will pay for itself on your first outing on the water and you might want to check out the other books by Maizler. He's in a class by himself when bringing authoritative fishing basics to life for the reader. Number one on my list of presents to give people that fish -- novice or expert alike."

For you bookworms!
Ok, I admit it, I'm a bit of a bookworm myself. Some of these I have and some I haven't acquired yet but will be so it's kind of my library/wishlist all in one. These are the ones that I consider to be the best tarpon fishing books available on the shelves today.
