X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
Mullet imitations are a great choice for catching tarpon with artificial lures. Fishing in saltwater is a different experience than when you fish in open waters. 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 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 appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
