X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet
If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. However, you're going to have to fish a little differently in the open waters than you would in saltwater. To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. Morris suggests that you follow a one second pause with three seconds of pause. If retrieving erratically, Morris recommends changing to a one two count. This will make your bait seem like an easy meal to the Tarpon.
This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This baitbuster's hollow body makes for a better hookup. The hook can be placed on the top lip or tarpon to allow it to flutter and swim. When fishing in deep water, try using this bait when you're fishing in slow-water conditions.

You can select the weight of the line according to how big your tarpon is. For hooking, you can add a fluoro leader to the terminal end of your line and work your bait slowly with the tip of your rod.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many ways to clean your fishing equipment. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. Always rinse your item after washing it. There is a possibility that dirt may remain inside the item, which can lead to bacteria growth. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. Avoid touching the item's surface when cleaning. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. There are certain things that you should never use, though, because they could damage your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can be used to dissolve plastics and metals, so don't ever use bleach to clean your fishing equipment. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing detergents designed to clean fish. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Oils and fats on the surface of gear are often responsible for staining. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. There are many cleaners available in most stores, each with a different purpose. Some cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can choose one that suits your needs best.
