If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. You will need to fish differently in open water than in saltwater. 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 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 the bait appear easy 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. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
