XRap Twitchin’ Mollet

A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using 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 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 the bait appear easy to the Tarpon.

This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is ideal for fishing deep water.

Fishing for tarpon requires a medium to heavy spinning reel and a rod that is long enough to carry it. Waszczuk recommends braided lines weighing between 40 and 50 pounds. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. A fluoro leader can be added to the end of your line for hooking. You can then slowly move the bait along the tip with your rod. For fishing in shallow waters for tarpon, you can use baits that look like bunker or mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.

FAQ

What distance should I fish from the shore?

You are more likely to catch fish the further you stand from shore. However, this also increases the chances of getting wet.


What should I wear for fishing?

Wear clothes that protect you from the elements. Sunscreen, gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen are all great options. Consider adding insect repellent.


Do I need special permits to fish?

No, unless you are going to fish in another state or county. Many states allow anglers fishing without a license. You can check with your local Fish & Wildlife office to find out what licensing is required.
