X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
You'll likely be using a mullet imitation if you want tarpon to be caught with artificial lures. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters 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 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 seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups. The hook allows it to sit on the top lip of tarpon and flutter as it swims. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

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. Some popular methods include casting, trolling, jigging, spinnerbaits, flyfishing, baitcasting, and ice fishing.

Live bait should look like food to fish, so that they will eat it. Live bait may include worms.
Artificial lures are baits that are made from plastic, metal, foam, feathers, metal, rubber and other materials. Artificial lures come a variety of sizes. They imitate natural prey items such as minnows, crawfish, shiners, grubs, and other aquatic animals. Because they are easy to cast, many people prefer lures. It is easy to set up lures and to retrieve them once they have reached their target.
Casting might be something you want to do if live bait is not your thing or you want to try out new techniques. Casting can be one of the easiest methods to catch fish. It requires very little effort and no special skills.
All you need is a rod, reel, line, sinkers, floatant, hooks, and possibly weights. A simple pole will suffice to cast. To cast, simply raise the rod vertically from the water surface. Then you slowly lower the tip of the rod until it touches the water. Once it touches the water, the line will begin to unwind from your reel. The lure will drop into the water once the line is at its full length.
Another method of catching fish is trolling. Trolling involves moving a lure through the water using a boat.
Fishing is fun, rewarding and enjoyable. There are many types of fishing, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some techniques are easier than others. However, they require patience and practice.
