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. Then, if you are retrieving erratically Morris suggests changing to a two count. This will make your bait seem easy to the Tarpon.
This red-white mullet, which is also known as a bunker-colored mullet, is an excellent choice for deep water fishing. The bait buster's small hollow body allows for better hookups.

The colors vary depending on where you find them.

How to Cast a Fishing Rod Perfectly

As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique can help increase the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface.
