this post might get frowned upon, but was driving through the harbor, and saw a huge tarpon jump out of the water. Wish I had pictures to prove it. Y’all can understand when we immediately stopped and tried to fish for it

So, not to discount what you saw, but last weekend we had a large sturgeon jump near the ship terminal right in front of us. Got a good look at it.

The tarpon must be around. I was out kiteboarding at breach inlet about 50 yards off the outer sandbar and saw one swimming on the top about a foot in front of me.

I, too, have seen them breech in the harbor. If you see only the belly side, it’s easily mistaken for a tarpon.
But, yes, the tarpon are all over too!

I was at Edisto two weeks ago something big and shiny jumped about 3 feet out of the water. I thought it was a king but maybe it was a tarpon.
The tarpon migrate by the first 2 weeks oF June an some of them stay till October. We got tarpon people don’t post about them.
I have a good buddy who was up in Geogetown 2 summers ago and said there were tarpon rolling everywhere in the river in the morning.

Boated to Georgetown today. Saw at least 50 sturgeon jump out of the water in Winyah Bay. Quite a cool experience.

If it was clearing the water and you didn’t have a hook in its mouth with an emptying spool, I’d put money on it being a sturgeon 99% of the time. I used to think I was seeing tarpon, too, but after being close to actively feeding tarpon, you’ll see why you won’t make the mistake anymore.
If it doesn’t bling it’s likely not a tarpon. There’s a reason they call them silver kings.
