To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. Morris recommends that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait look like a simple meal for the Tarpon.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders are easy-to-store and prevent rod damage.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
