Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is covered as well as MirrOlure 77M twitchbait and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
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. 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 look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, which is 8 inches long and made of heavy-duty plastic. This lure, also known as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure for tarpon. This lure can be used for both large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. The lure comes with a molded foam body, a synthetic tail or natural tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.
MirrOlure 77M Twitch Bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbaits are great for snook, bluefish, tarpon and jack. These twitchbaits come in many appealing patterns and can sink to several yards. This bait gives fish an irresistible darting effect. There are many natural colors and patterns to choose from.
The twitch bait's suspending action means it can stay submerged for as long as 36 inches. This bait should not be fished with one lure. Instead, it should be slowly brought in and used for a slow and steady retrieve. The hot tiger colour, also known in Cuba as the Tropical color, is ideal for tarpon at night or under low light conditions. This bait is also great for cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
The MirrOlure 77M is a twitch bait that can be used for casting and trolling. It is made out of ABS with a UV protective coating. It is made of ABS and has a UV protective finish. This lure stands out because of its holographic reflective features.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap jig makes a great lure for tarpon. This bait is a favorite of Capt. Jim prefers this bait to fish inshore waters. It has excellent hooks and a sinking action when stationary. This bait works well in clear waters and can be fished either on the beach or close to a dock. It can also be used in brackish or shallow flats. For these situations, the gold or pilchard colours are excellent.
Another clear jig designed for sight casting is the TerrorEyz 3-inch 1/4 ounce jig. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. The manufacturer claims that it is stuffed with real shrimp and looks great in clear waters. You can't tell if the bait has shrimp stuffed. This bait is made from soft plastic. It still works well at catching Tarpon.

How To
Finding The Best Fishing Spot
It is important to know the type of fish that you are looking for in order to find the best spots for fishing. It's important to decide if deep sea fishing is for you or shallow water. Deep sea fishing requires a boat, which costs money. Shallow water fishing requires no boat and can be done from shore. If you are looking to catch trout, shallow water fishing is your best choice. However, if your goal is to catch barracuda you will have to venture out into deeper waters.
There are many fishing spots to choose from, depending on which type you prefer. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. One example is that some areas are known for their bass fishing and others specialize in fly-fishing. Some locations are also famous for their shark fishing or crabbing.
It all depends on what you enjoy doing, your budget and how long you plan to stay. Do you enjoy camping? Then you might want to check out a place near a lake. Are you more drawn to city life? Maybe you prefer the ocean. You might also enjoy scuba diving or kayaking.
It doesn't matter if you don’t know anything about fishing. You could always ask someone who does. They might be able to tell you all sorts of information, including where to fish.
You can even search online for fishing spots near you. This will give a lot of options. It would be wonderful if you could narrow your selections by reviewing and rating each product. This is possible on a variety of websites.
Once you've decided on a specific location, make sure to visit it before you leave. Sometimes it takes longer to get there than anticipated. Make sure to bring all the necessary items. Also, don't forget to pack your tackle box, bait, as well as sunscreen.
Research the weather conditions at your fishing spot is also an excellent idea. Seek out the forecast to see the best times of day. If the weather is changing, it's a good idea to make changes to your plans.
You now have the information you need to plan your trip. Next is to decide what to fish.
