X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
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. The best way to fish in open water is to keep your bait ten- to fifteen feet from the rolling fish. Slowly, use a series of twitches to move it around. Morris suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. 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 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. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.

How To
How to perfectly cast a fishing rod
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
