Local resident, Matt Lerer, caught a pretty cool video of some tarpon chasing a mullet run on Friday.

While peak tarpon season is during the summertime, you can spot the tarpon chasing large schools of mullet well into fall. 

Lerer's video shows a huge school of mullet with quite a few large tarpon hunting for some lunch. Check it out on the news here: https://www.wpbf.com/article/drone-video-shows-sharks-large-school-of-fish/23143244.
