X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would in saltwater. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. 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 easy 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 sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

How To
Finding The Best Fishing Spot
To find the best fishing spots, you must know what kind of fish you want to catch. You need to decide if you want deep sea fishing, or shallow water fishing. Deep sea fishing requires a boat, which 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. You'll need to travel to deeper water if you are looking for barracuda.
You can choose from many different kinds of fishing spots depending on your preferences. Some places offer just one type of fishing; others offer several. For instance, some locations are known for their bass fish fishing and others for fly fishing. Other locations are famous for their shark fishing and crabbing.
It all depends on what you enjoy doing, your budget and how long you plan to stay. Do you enjoy camping? You might consider a location near a lake. Are you more into city life? Maybe you prefer the ocean. You might enjoy canoeing and sailing, scubadiving, kayaking, and surfing.
Even if fishing is not something you are familiar with, it's worth asking someone who does. You could ask them about everything, including where to go.
You could even try searching online for "fishing spots near me." You will get many ideas. It would be wonderful if you could narrow your selections by reviewing and rating each product. This is possible on a variety of websites.
Once you have selected a location to visit, it is important that you actually go there. It is not always easy to find the right way, so make sure you have directions. You should also make sure that you have everything you need. Make sure to pack your bait, tackle box and sunscreen.
Research the weather conditions at your fishing spot is also an excellent idea. Look at the forecast to determine when is the best time to fish. Changes in the weather can cause you to alter your plans.
Now that you know where to go, you can start planning your trip. The next step is to decide what kind of fish you will be using.
