XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. You will need to fish differently in open water than in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. Morris recommends that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
