X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. 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 mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. 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 great for deep-water fishing.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. 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.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
