Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We've covered the X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet, 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
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters 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 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 appear like a tasty 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 is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. The hook is designed to be placed on top of the tarpon, allowing it to flutter along with it as it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure is great for catching both small and large tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. 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.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The size of your tarpon can determine the weight of the line. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait. You can fish for tarpon in shallower waters by using baits that resemble bunker or mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.
MirrOlure77M is a twitch bait
MirrOlure 77M shad twitchbait works well for tarpon, bluefish and snook. These twitchbaits are available in many eye-catching colors and sink to several feet. This bait has an irresistible darting motion for fish. You can choose from a variety of natural colors and patterns.
This twitch bait has a suspending action that stays submerged for up to 36 inches. This type of tarpon bait shouldn't be fished as one lure. Slow and steady retrieves are recommended. This bait's hot tiger color is also known as the Tropical in Cuba and is great for tarpon fishing at night or in low light conditions. This bait is also great for cubera snapper and jack crevalle.
MirrOlure 77M can be used to cast and trolling for tarpon. It is made from ABS and protected by UV light. It's designed to withstand a wide range of water conditions. This makes it versatile and highly efficient. This lure stands out in any environment thanks to its holographic reflections.
X-Rap 3-inch 1/4 ounce clear jig
The X-Rap jig makes a great lure for tarpon. This bait is a favorite of Capt. Jim likes to fish inshore water with this bait. It has excellent hooks and a sinking action when stationary. This bait is great for clear water fishing and can be fished near a dock or on the beach. This bait is also very effective in shallow flats and brackish rivers. The gold or pilchard colors are great for these conditions.
TerrorEyz is another clear jig that can be used to sight cast. It measures 3 inches and weighs 1/4 ounce. The bait is stocked with glitter specs in order to catch juvenile Tarpon. It's also great in clearwater, as the manufacturer states that it's stuffed full of real shrimp. But if you're not sure whether it's stuffed with shrimp, don't worry because this bait is made of soft plastic, and it's still very effective at catching tarpon.

How To
Find the Best Fishing Spot
Knowing what kind of fish is best for you to find the best fishing spots is essential. It's important to decide if deep sea fishing is for you or shallow water. Deep sea fishing requires a boat. This is expensive. Shallow water fishing can be done from shore and is therefore free of cost. 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.
Depending on what you prefer, there are many options for fishing spots. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. For example, some places are known for their bass fishing while others specialize in fly fishing. Some places are well-known for their shark fishing and crabbing.
The best way for you to decide where to go is to consider your budget, what you want to do, and how long it will take. Do you enjoy camping? If so, you might be interested in a spot near a lake. Do you prefer city life? Maybe you prefer the beach. Perhaps you even like to go canoeing, sailing or scuba diving.
Even if fishing is not something you are familiar with, it's worth asking someone who does. They could tell you about all kinds of things, including where to go.
You might also consider searching online for "fishing places near me". This will give many options. It would be fantastic if you could narrow down the choices by reviewing ratings and reviews. Many websites allow you to do so.
Once you've decided on a specific location, make sure to visit it before you leave. 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. Remember to bring your bait, tackle box, sunscreen, and sunblock!
Research the weather conditions at your fishing spot is also an excellent idea. Check the forecast and see when the best times are to go. You might need to adjust your plans if the weather changes.
Once you have a good idea of where you want to go, it's time to start planning your trip. The next step is deciding what you're going to use to fish.
