X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently than you would 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 alternating a one-second stop with a three-second rest, then switching to a one/two count if your retrieve is erratic. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster features a small, hollow body which allows for better hookups. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

How To
Finding the Best Fishing Location
Knowing what kind of fish is best for you to find the best fishing spots is essential. You should decide whether you want to go deep sea fishing or shallow water fishing. Deep sea fishing costs money. Shallow water fishing is done from shore, so there's no cost involved. Deep water fishing would be the best option for trout fishermen. You'll need to travel to deeper water if you are looking for barracuda.
You can choose from many different kinds of fishing spots depending on your preferences. Some places offer only one type of fishing while others have several options. One example is that some areas are known for their bass fishing and others specialize in fly-fishing. Some places are well-known for their shark fishing and crabbing.
The best way to figure out where to go depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay, and what you like doing. Do you enjoy camping? If so, you might be interested in a spot near a lake. Do you prefer the city? Maybe you prefer the ocean. Perhaps you even like to go canoeing, sailing or scuba diving.
Even if fishing is not something you are familiar with, it's worth asking someone who does. They can tell you everything, even where to go.
You could even try searching online for "fishing spots near me." This will give many options. It would be wonderful if you could narrow your selections by reviewing and rating each product. There are plenty of websites that allow you to do this.
Once you've decided on a specific location, make sure to visit it before you leave. It is not always easy to find the right way, so make sure you have directions. You should also make sure that you have everything you need. Remember to bring your bait, tackle box, sunscreen, and sunblock!
It's a good idea also to check the weather conditions at the spot. Check the forecast and see when the best times are to go. If the weather changes, you might want to change your plans.
Once you've decided where to go, you can begin planning your trip. The next step is deciding what you're going to use to fish.
