To fish slowly, you'll need to place your bait about ten to fifteenft in front the rolling fish. Morris recommends that you take a short pause and then follow it up with a three second pause.

This red-white bunker-colored, mullet is great for deep-water fishing. This bait buster has a small, hollow body that allows for a better hookup. 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.
