You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. 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 flies have a unique action and they all work well.
X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series 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 easy to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper has a length of 8 inches and is made from tough plastic. This lure, also known as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper produces a massive sound and a big bubble trail. This lure is tied with a molded foam body and a natural or synthetic tail. This lure is best used in shallow water for spotted fish. It can also be cast out and retrieved as a brush fly. Once you have found the right kind of pattern, it will be easy to catch tarpon.
For tarpon fishing, you will need a medium-heavy spinning gear and a long, heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The color of the bait will vary depending on where they are found.

TerrorEyz's 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig can also be used for sight casting. This bait is made with glitter specs to catch juveniles tarpon. It also looks great when it's clear water.

How To
How to fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing refers to the sport of catching freshwater fish, such as fish caught from rivers, lakes, streams, and other freshwater sources. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These species of fish can be caught using many different methods. You can use a variety of methods to catch fish such as trolling or casting.
Finding a good area to catch any kind of fish is the first step. This often means finding a spot close to your water source. Next, you need to decide on the type of equipment that you want.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures include baits made from plastic, wood, feathers and metal. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. Lures are easy to set up and easy to retrieve once they hit their target.
If you do not want to use live bait or if you just want to try some new techniques then you might consider learning how to cast. Casting is one the most straightforward ways to catch fish. It is very easy to do and doesn't require any special skills.
You will need a rod, reel and line. You can cast with just a pole. To cast, simply raise the rod vertically from the water surface. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. 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 technique for catching fish. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
Fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Although some techniques are easier than others, all methods require practice and patience.
