XRap Twitchin’ Mollet
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. It's best to put your bait about ten or fifteen feet in front if you want to retrieve the rolling fish. Then, slowly and with a series on twitches, move it slowly. 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 a good choice for deep-water fishing. This bait buster is small and hollow, which makes it easier to hook up. 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.

FAQ
How can you tell if your lure is working?
Look out for movement as you cast your lure into water. If there is movement, your lure is operating properly.
Can I fish in the morning or at night?
Yes, but make sure to use artificial light. Fisherman use artificial lighting to attract them. They work well after the sun sets as fish become more active in the dark.
What kind of fishing licence do I need?
You will need a fishing permit if your plan is to fish on state waters (i.e. the lakes, rivers and beaches). State laws require anglers to obtain a valid fishing license before fishing. You must have a valid fishing license if you intend to fish in federal waters, such as the Great Lakes and oceans. Fishing licenses are not required if you plan to fish in federal waters. However, you will need to check with the authorities before you take any fish home.
Which rod should I choose?
Graphite-fiberglass composite is the best choice for fly fishing. This material is strong, lightweight and has great casting properties. To cast better, you must practice with graphite rods.
What should I wear for fishing?
Wear clothes that protect you from the elements. You can protect yourself from the elements with gloves, sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat. Consider adding insect repellent.
Do I require special fishing licenses?
If you intend to take fish outside of your state or cross county lines, no. Many states allow anglers fishing without a license. Check with your local Fish & Wildlife agency to see what is required.
What is the best bait available for freshwater fish?
Live shrimp is the best bait available for freshwater fisherman. Shrimp are great for freshwater fishing because they are cheap and easy to catch.

How To
How to perfectly cast a fishing rod
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
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. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
