Tarpon Take Center Stage, as published recently in Sport Fishing Magazine, by Jerald S. Ault, PH. D., “A Compelling Need for Conservation Brings Together Science and Fishing Communities to Support Sustainable Coastal Sport Fisheries”.
Tarpon offer a challenge to biologist and angler alike. Hooked up, one senses the unbridled survival instincts of one of Earth’s oldest creatures, skills that have been honed over more than 100 million years while surviving a range of severe climactic chnages. Innate morphological and behaviorial characteristics have also enabled tarpon to successfully elude thier powerful natural predators.
