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 seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which 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. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.
