X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. 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 your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

A great tarpon fishing lure is the 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 for both large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. The lure is tied using a molded plastic body and a natural, or synthetic tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you've found the right pattern, you'll be well on your way to catching tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. 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 will vary depending upon where you find them.

FAQ
How long does it take to catch fish?
It depends on what size the fish are and how skilled the fisherman is. The time it takes to catch a fish is anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour. The better your chances of landing a big fish are, the longer you wait.
Do you need a bobber to fish?
Yes. You use a bobber to prevent the bait from moving when you are fishing. There are two parts of a bobber, the float or the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.
Where can I fish in good places?
