X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet
If you are looking to catch tarpon by using artificial lures, you will likely use a mullet imitation. In open water, however, you will have to fish slightly differently 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 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 appear like a tasty meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white, bunker-colored mullet makes a great choice 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. This bait is best for fishing in deep waters.

Dr. Fish's Saltwater GT Popper (8 inches) is a great lure for tarpon fishing. It is made of 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 catch large and small tarpon.
Double Barrel Popper is loud and produces large bubble trails. This lure is tied with either a natural or synthetic tail and a molded foam head. It is most effective when used in shallow waters for spotted fish, and it can be cast out and retrieved like a brush fly. Once you find the right pattern you can catch tarpon.
A medium-heavy spinning rod and long, medium-heavy rod are recommended for fishing for tarpon. Waszczuk recommends braided line in the 40- to 50-pound range. You can pick the weight of your line according to the size and shape of your Tarpon. Add a fluoroleader (or a leader) to your terminal end. Slowly work your bait with the tip. For fishing in shallow waters for tarpon, you can use baits that look like bunker or mullet. The colors can vary depending on where they're found.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly
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. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. 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.
First, hold the rod as close to your chest as possible. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole 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 casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
