XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would 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 following a one-second pause with a three-second pause, and changing to a one-two count if you're retrieving erratically. 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. 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. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
