This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

How To
How to fish in freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. The most common types of fish caught include bass, catfish, carp, crappie, trout, sunfish, walleye, perch, pike, muskie, eel, and many others. These fish can be caught using a variety of methods. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
Finding a good area to catch any kind of fish is the first step. This usually means choosing a spot near your water supply. Next, decide what type of equipment to use.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. It is easy to set up lures and to retrieve them once they have reached their target.
Casting can be a good option if your preference is not to use live bait. Casting is one way to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. A simple pole is enough to cast with. In order to cast you simply hold the rod vertically above the surface of the water. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. After the line reaches its maximum length, let go of the rod. The lure will then fall back into water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
In conclusion, fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many options for fishing. Each has its pros and cons. Although some techniques are easier than others, all methods require practice and patience.
