XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. You will need to fish differently in open water than 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 your bait seem like an easy meal 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 bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.

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. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. A fluoro leader can be added to the end of your line for hooking. You can then slowly move the bait along the tip with your rod. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors vary depending on where you find them.

All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. A simple pole will suffice to cast. To cast, simply raise the rod vertically from the water surface. Next, lower the rod tip so that it touches 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.
Trolling is another technique for catching fish. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
