X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using 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 following a 1-second pause followed by a 3-second pause. You can then change to a 1-two count if retrieving erratically. This will make your bait appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body 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.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure is also called the "D.O.A Shrimp" because it's a great lure and the best for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. This lure is best used in shallow water for spotted fish. It can also be cast out and retrieved as a brush fly. Once you have the right pattern, you will be well on your path to catching tarpon.
When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.

X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
If you're looking for a clear jig to lure tarpon, the X-Rap is a great choice. Capt. Jim prefers this bait to fish inshore waters. It is very effective with hooks and has a sinking action when it is stationary. This bait is excellent in clear water. It can be fished along the shore or at a dock. This bait works well in shallow flats, brackish rivers, and shallow lakes. These conditions are ideal for the gold and pilchard colors.
TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. This bait is filled to catch juvenile tarpon with glitter specs. The manufacturer claims that it is stuffed with real shrimp and looks great in clear waters. But if you're not sure whether it's stuffed with shrimp, don't worry because this bait is made of soft plastic, and it's still very effective at catching tarpon.
FAQ
What length is the perfect fishing rod length?
The kind of fish that you are looking to catch determines the length of your fishing line. A 6'6" rod is ideal if you are targeting smallmouth bass. If you want to catch largemouth bass, however, a 7’5" rod might be more suitable.
To fish, do you need a rod?
Yes. A bobber helps keep the bait in place when you fish. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line. Attach the hook to the line at the end and then let go. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.
How do I know if my lure works?
If your lure is moving when you place it in the water, pay attention. If your lure moves, it is functioning properly.
What time does it take you to catch a salmon?
It depends on how big the fish is and what level of skill the fisherman has. Landing a fish can take anywhere from one to an hour. The greater your chance of landing a big fish, the longer you wait.
Where can I purchase my fishing supplies?
You can purchase all of these items at most sporting goods stores. You can also shop online if you need something in particular. There are many websites that sell everything, including rods and reels as well as tackle boxes and lures.
Are special licenses necessary to fish?
No, unless you are going to fish in another state or county. Many states allow anglers the freedom to fish without the need of a license. Check with your local Fish & Wildlife agency to see what is required.

How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing can be described as catching freshwater fish from streams, lakes, rivers and ponds. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These species of fish can be caught using many different methods. Casting, trolling and spinnerbaits are some of the most popular methods to catch these species.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This means that you should choose a location near the water source. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
If you plan on using live bait, you should choose something that looks like food to the fish so they will bite at it. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
Artificial lures can also be used. They are made from plastics, woods, feathers or metals. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. Artificial lures are designed to mimic natural prey animals such as minnows or crawfish, shiners or grubs, as well other aquatic animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. When they land on their target, lures can be set up quickly and easily removed.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting can be one of the easiest methods to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. Casting with a simple pole is easy. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. You can let go of your rod when the line reaches its full length and the lure will fall into the water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
Fishing is both enjoyable and lucrative. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. While some methods are more straightforward than others, they all require practice and patience.
