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 that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.

You can choose the weight of line according to the size of your tarpon. To hook, add a fluoroleader at the terminal end of the line. Then slowly use the tip of the rod to move your bait.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
