If you're looking to catch tarpon with artificial lures, you'll probably be using a mullet imitation. You will need to fish differently in open water than 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 following a one-second pause with a three-second pause, and changing to a one-two count if you're retrieving erratically. This will make your bait seem like an easy 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.

How do I start fishing?
There are a few things you should know about fishing if you're new to the sport. You must first learn about the various types of fish found in your region. To find them, you must also know their favorite places to be found. Once you have established the best areas for fishing, you will need to practice casting. This means learning how to throw a lure into the air and letting it fall back down onto the surface of the water. Practice makes perfect!
What type of gear are you going to need for fishing?
A rod, reel, line, hooks, bait, tackle box, and some snacks. Casting, setting up a hook and using a bobber are essential skills for catching fish. Remember to be patient and wait for the right moment before you strike.
Can I get my kids interested in fishing?
Absolutely! Fishing is a favorite pastime of children. Most children who grow up fishing never stop doing so. Encourage your child to learn how to fish. For example, you could teach them how to tie knots, build a fishing pole, and learn about fishing etiquette. It is possible to show them pictures of fish and tell stories about fishing.
Are you able to fish without a bobber?
Yes. The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. Casting a lure requires that you attach the hook at the end of your line. Next, you need to cast the line out and let go. The lure could sink to the bottom if you don't have a bobber. This makes it harder for fish to take the bait.

How To
Find the Best Fishing Spot
To find the best fishing spots, you must know what kind of fish you want to catch. It is important to decide whether you prefer deep sea fishing or shallow-water fishing. Deep sea fishing will require a boat which is costly. Shallow water fishing can be done from shore and is therefore free of cost. Shallow water fishing is the best option if you want to catch trout. However, if your goal is to catch barracuda you will have to venture out into deeper waters.
Depending on your preference, there are many types of fishing spots. Some places offer just one type of fishing; others offer several. One example is that some areas are known for their bass fishing and others specialize in fly-fishing. Some locations are also famous for their shark fishing or crabbing.
The best way for you to decide where to go is to consider your budget, what you want to do, and how long it will take. Do you enjoy camping? Perhaps you would like to visit a campsite near a water source. Are you more into city life? You might prefer the beach. You might enjoy canoeing and sailing, scubadiving, kayaking, and surfing.
Ask someone who is familiar with fishing. They could tell you about all kinds of things, including where to go.
You might also consider searching online for "fishing places near me". This will give many options. It would be great if you could narrow down your list of choices by reading reviews and ratings. You can do this on many websites.
Once you've chosen a place, go to it before you leave. It is not always easy to find the right way, so make sure you have directions. Make sure to bring all the necessary items. Don't forget your tackle box, bait, and sunscreen!
It's a good idea also to check the weather conditions at the spot. Look at the forecast to determine when is the best time to fish. Changes in the weather can cause you to alter your plans.
Now that you know where to go, you can start planning your trip. Next is to decide what to fish.
