X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. 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 suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. This will make your bait look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored mullet is a good choice for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. This bait is great for deep-water fishing.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
A great tarpon fishing lure is the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper (8 inches) is a great lure for tarpon fishing. It is made of heavy-duty, plastic. This lure, also known to be the "D.O.A Shrimp", can be used to catch tarpon. This lure can catch large and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper makes a loud sound and leaves a huge bubble trail. The lure comes with a molded foam body, a synthetic tail or natural tail. 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 have the right pattern, you will be well on your path to catching tarpon.
You should fish for tarpon with a medium-heavy spinning and long rod. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. Try baits that resemble mullet or bunker if you are fishing for tarpon. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.
