This article will show you how to catch Tarpon with artificial lures. We have already covered the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is covered as well as MirrOlure 77M twitchbait and the X-Rap 3-inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these flies is different, but each one works well.
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. 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 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 appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great 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. If you fish in deep water, this bait can be used.
Dr. Dr.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper measures 8 inches in length, and is made of tough plastic. This lure, also known as "D.O.A Shrimp", is a great lure for tarpon. This lure can catch large and small 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 works best when used in shallow areas for spotted fish. This lure can be cast out as a brush or retrieved as a fly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
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 weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. 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. Baits that resemble bunker, mullet and other baits are good for fishing for tarpon in shallow waters. The colors vary depending on where you find them.
