Tarpon
While not as widely known as other Florida or Caribbean destinations, Lockport, Louisiana, offers a unique chance to tangle with tarpon. These 'silver kings' migrate into the Louisiana marsh during the warmer months, primarily from late spring through summer and early fall. They can be found lurking in the deeper channels and bayous close to the Gulf, particularly around bridge pilings and areas with strong tidal flow. Live mullet or large artificial swimbaits are effective presentations. A key piece of advice is to fish early in the morning or late in the evening, when tarpon are most active. Accessing the best tarpon spots often requires a boat; the numerous public boat launches along Highway 308 offer convenient entry points. Be prepared for a tough fight, as Lockport tarpon are known for their powerful runs and aerial displays.
