X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. But, in open water you'll need to fish slightly differently to 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 like an easy meal to the Tarpon.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing involves the capture of fish from freshwater sources like lakes, rivers, streams and ponds. Most fish caught are bass, catfish (carp, crappie), trout and sunfish as well as walleye, perch. pike, muskie and eel. These fish can be caught using a variety of methods. There are many methods that can be used to catch these fish, including trolling (casting), trolling, spinnerbaits (spinnerbaits), flyfishing and baitcasting.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This usually means choosing a spot near your water supply. Next, decide the type of equipment you wish to use.
For live bait to work, choose something that looks familiar and appealing to the fish. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures come in many shapes and sizes. They mimic natural prey like minnows, crawfish and shiners as well as grubs and other aquatic animals. Lures are popular because they require little skill to throw them in the water. Once they have hit their target, lures are simple to set up and retrieve.
Casting is a great way to learn if you don't want to use live bait, or just want to experiment with new techniques. Casting is one of the easiest ways to catch fish. Casting is easy and requires no special skills.
You only need a rod. A reel. Line, sinkers, weights, hooks. A simple pole will suffice to cast. To cast the rod, hold it vertically above water's surface. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. When it touches water, the line begins to unwind from its reel. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another technique for catching fish. Trolling is the use of a boat to transport a lure across the water.
Fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many kinds of fishing and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. Some techniques are easier than others. However, they require patience and practice.
