Here are some tips to help you catch tarpon using artificial lures. We have already covered the Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper and MirrOlure 77M twitchbait are all covered, as well as the X-Rap 3 inch 1/4-ounce clear jig. Each of these fly actions is unique and works well.
XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
A mullet imitation is a good choice if you want to catch tarpon using artificial lures. You will need to fish differently in open water than in saltwater. 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 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 easy to the Tarpon.
Deep-water fishing is easy with this red-white bunker-colored Mullet. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook sits on the top of tarpon's lips and will flutter as it moves. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.
Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper
Dr. The Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper is 8 inches in length and made from heavy-duty plastic. This lure is also known as the "D.O.A Shrimp," and it is an all-around great lure that's the best choice for tarpon. This lure can be used to catch both big and small tarpon.
The Double Barrel Popper emits a large sound and leaves behind a lot of bubbles. The lure is tied using a molded plastic body and a natural, or synthetic tail. It's most effective in shallow waters where there are spotted fish. The lure can be cast and retrieved just like a brushfly. Once you've chosen the right type of pattern, you're well on your way towards catching tarpon.
When fishing for tarpon, you should use a medium-heavy spinning reel and a long, medium-heavy rod. Waszczuk recommends braided 40-50 pound lines. The weight of your tarpon will determine the line you use. For hooking, you can add a fluoro leader to the terminal end of your line and work your bait slowly with the tip of your rod. If you're fishing for tarpon in shallow water, try baits that resemble bunker and mullet. The colors will vary depending upon where you find them.

How To
How to fish in freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. There are many types of fish that can be caught, including bass, carp and crappie, trout as well, walleyes, perch, pike (muskie), eel and many other species. These species can be caught in a variety different ways. Trolling, trolling, trolling, spinnerbaits and flyfishing are all popular methods.
The first step when trying to catch any type of fish is finding a good location where fish are likely to be found. This usually means choosing a place close to the source of your water supply. Next you must decide what kind of equipment you want to use.
If you plan on using live bait, you should choose something that looks like food to the fish so they will bite at it. You can use live bait such as worms and minnows, insects, grasshoppers, bloodworms and leeches.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures come a variety of sizes. Artificial lures can mimic natural prey such as minnows and crawfish or shiners and grubs. Lures are popular because they require little skill to throw them in the water. It is easy to set up lures and to retrieve them once they have reached their target.
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 way 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 can be used to cast. Casting is as easy as holding the rod vertically high above the water. You then slowly lower your rod's tip to the water. The line will start to come off the reel as soon as it touches the water. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Another method of catching fish is trolling. Trolling is the use of a boat to transport a lure across the water.
Fishing is fun and rewarding. There are many types of fishing, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some methods are easier to learn than others but all require patience and practice.
