If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We've also covered Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper and MirrOlure 77M twitchbait are all covered, as well as the X-Rap 3 inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies has a different action, and each works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. 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 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.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, which is 8 inches long and made of heavy-duty plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper creates a loud, clear sound and big bubble trails. This lure is tied with a molded foam body and a natural or synthetic tail. It works best when used in shallow areas for spotted fish. This lure can be cast out as a brush or retrieved as a fly. Once you've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.
You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. For line, Waszczuk recommends braided lines in the 40 to 50-pound class. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. 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 color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.
MirrOlure 77M Twitch Bait
The MirrOlure 77M shad twitch bait is perfect for tarpon, bluefish, snook, and jack. These twitch baits can sink to several foot and are available in many attractive patterns.

How To
Find the Best Fishing Spot
To find the best fishing spots, you must know what kind of fish you want to catch. Decide whether you want to fish deep or shallow waters. Deep sea fishing is expensive and requires a boat. The cost of shallow water fishing is minimal as it's done from shore. Deep water fishing would be the best option for trout fishermen. However, if your goal is to catch barracuda you will have to venture out into deeper waters.
Depending on what you prefer, there are many options for fishing spots. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. For instance, some locations are known for their bass fish fishing and others for fly fishing. Other places are known for their shark-fishing and 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 interested in city life? Maybe you prefer to be on the beach. You might also enjoy scuba diving or kayaking.
Ask someone who is familiar with fishing. You could ask them about everything, including where to go.
You could also try searching online for "fishing spots close to me." You will get many ideas. It would be fantastic if you could narrow down the choices by reviewing ratings and reviews. You can do this on many websites.
After you have chosen a location, you should make it a point to visit it before you go. Because sometimes getting there can take you longer than you anticipated, make sure to have directions. Also, make sure you bring everything you think you'll need. Remember to bring your bait, tackle box, sunscreen, and sunblock!
It's a good idea also to check the weather conditions at the spot. You can check the weather forecast to find the best times to go. If the weather changes, you might want to change your plans.
Now that you know where to go, you can start planning your trip. The next step is deciding what you're going to use to fish.
