X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to 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 your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique can help increase the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. 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 it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
