X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. Morris recommends alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make your bait appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and 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're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
