You've found the right place if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have covered the X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet, 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
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. Your bait should be suspended ten to fifteen yards in front of the fish, and you will need to slowly work it with a series twitches. Morris suggests following a 1-second pause followed by a 3-second pause. You can then change to a 1-two count if retrieving erratically. This will make your bait seem like an easy meal to 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. It can sit on top of the tarpon's lip and flutter while it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

FAQ
What type of fishing license do you need?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). According to state laws, anglers must have a valid fishing permit before they can fish. If you plan to fish within federal waters (e.g. Great Lakes, oceans), a license is required. ), you do not need a fishing license. However, you will need to check with the authorities before you take any fish home.
Where can I buy my fishing supplies?
These items are available at most sporting good stores. If you're looking for something more specific, you might want to look online. Many websites sell everything, from rods to reels to tackle boxes to lures.
What should I wear when fishing?
Protect yourself from the elements by wearing clothes. Sunscreen, gloves, sunglasses and sunscreen are all great options. Insect repellent is also a good idea.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes! A bobber helps keep the bait in place when you fish. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line. Casting a lure requires that you attach the hook at the end of your line. Next, you need to cast the line out and let go. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.
Statistics
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
Why should you use spinning rods?
Spinning Rods are useful for casting your lure into the waters without leaving the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. There are three major components to the rod; handle, butt and reel section. The handle holds the rod and allows you to grip the shaft. The rod's tips are attached to the hook by the butt portion. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many different types of rods available today. Some are specifically designed for certain fishing types, such as casting and trolling. Others are designed to be used for various purposes, including fly fishing, spin fishing, bait fishing, etc.
The type and species of fish that you are trying to catch will dictate the type of rod you use. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning Rods can be used for more than just freshwater fishing. They are commonly used for saltwater fishing too. Saltwater spinning rods weigh more than their freshwater counterparts, as they need stronger materials to withstand saltwater's harsh conditions. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. First, saltwater spinning rods do not come with reels like freshwater ones. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They are also quite costly. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure swims through the water, it spins around the weighted center point. The lure will move in a erratic manner, making it hard for fish to recognize the lure. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. The lure will therefore attract more fish. The line attached to the lure can be reeled in by the fisherman. After the lure is retrieved, the fisherman can continue the process until he has caught the desired number.
