You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have covered the X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet, Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies is different, but each one works well.
X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently 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 alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. 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 be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper is loud and produces large 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. Waszczuk recommends braided lines weighing between 40 and 50 pounds. You can choose the weight of line according to the size of your tarpon. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. 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.

How To
The Best Fishing Spot
You must decide what type of fish you want. This will help you find the best fishing spots. It is important to decide whether you prefer deep sea fishing or shallow-water fishing. Deep sea fishing costs money. Shallow water fishing requires no boat and can be done from shore. If you're interested in catching trout, you'd probably choose shallow water fishing. However, if barracuda is what you're after, you should go to deeper waters.
Depending on what you prefer, there are many options for fishing spots. Some spots offer one type of fishing, while others offer several. Some places are famous for their fly fishing, while others are better at bass fishing. Other locations are famous for their shark fishing and crabbing.
How long you intend to stay and your interests will all play a role in deciding where you want to go. Do you enjoy camping? A place close to a lake might appeal to you. Are you more into city life? Maybe you prefer the ocean. Perhaps you even like to go canoeing, sailing or scuba diving.
Even if fishing is not something you are familiar with, it's worth asking someone who does. They could tell you about all kinds of things, including where to go.
You could even try searching online for "fishing spots near me." This will give you lots of ideas. It would be wonderful if you could narrow your selections by reviewing and rating each product. There are plenty of websites that allow you to do this.

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. Changes in the weather can cause you to alter your plans.
Once you have a good idea of where you want to go, it's time to start planning your trip. The next step is to decide what kind of fish you will be using.
