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 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 appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing refers to the sport of catching freshwater fish, such as fish caught from rivers, lakes, streams, and other freshwater sources. Most fish caught are bass, catfish (carp, crappie), trout and sunfish as well as walleye, perch. pike, muskie and eel. 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.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This typically means you need to choose a location close to your water supply. Next you must decide what kind of equipment you want to use.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
You can also use artificial lures, baits made out of plastic, wood, feathers, rubber, metal, foam, and other materials. Artificial lures can come in many different sizes. Artificial lures can mimic natural prey such as minnows and crawfish or shiners and grubs. Lures are popular because they require little skill to throw them in the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting might be something you want to do if live bait is not your thing or you want to try out new techniques. Casting is one of most effective ways to catch fish. Casting requires little effort and does not require any special skills.
All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. A simple pole will suffice to cast. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. As soon as it does this the line starts to unwind from the reel. When the line reaches its full length, you let go of the rod and watch the lure fall back into the water.
Another method of catching fish is trolling. Trolling is a technique that uses a boat to move a lure through the water.
Fishing can be fun and rewarding. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier to learn than others but all require patience and practice.
