X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters 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 recommends following a one-second pause with a three-second pause, and changing to a one-two count if you're retrieving erratically. This will make the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can choose the weight of line according to the size of your tarpon. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.

FAQ
To fish, you will need a Bobber

Then, pull the rod out and release the line. A bobber is not necessary to cast a lure. The lure could sink into the waters, making it difficult for the fish bite.
Are there any restrictions on when I can fish?
