If you're looking to catch tarpon on artificial lures, you've come to the right place. We have already covered the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper, MirrOlure 77M twitch bait, and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these fly actions is unique and works well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. 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 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 is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. 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 find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. You can attach a fluoroleader to the terminal end and slowly work the bait with the tip. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors of these baits will vary depending where they are located.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing involves the capture of fish from freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Most fish caught are bass, catfish (carp, crappie), trout and sunfish as well as walleye, perch. pike, muskie and eel. There are several different methods used to catch these species of fish. Casting, trolling and spinnerbaits are some of the most popular methods to catch these species.
Finding a good place to catch fish is the first thing to do when you want to catch them. This means that you should choose a location near the water source. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures can also be used. They are made from plastics, woods, feathers or metals. Artificial lures can come in many different sizes. Artificial lures are designed to mimic natural prey animals such as minnows or crawfish, shiners or grubs, as well other aquatic animals. People prefer to use lures as they don't require any skill to cast them in the water. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one the most straightforward ways to catch fish. It is very easy to do and doesn't require any special skills.
A rod, reel, line and sinker, floatant, hooks and weights are all you need. A simple pole will suffice to cast. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. Once it touches the water, the line will begin to unwind from your 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 method for catching fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some methods are easier than others, but they all require practice.
