You'll want to suspend your bait ten to fifteen feet in front of the rolling fish and work it slowly with a series of twitches. 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.

FAQ
How deep should I cast my line?
Cast your line as deep as possible. When casting a line, keep your arm straight so that the line doesn't twist.
Do you need a bobber to fish?
Yes. The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. There are two parts of a bobber, the float or the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. If you don't use a bobber, the lure may sink into the water, which makes it difficult for the fish to bite.
How much does basic fishing gear cost?
Basic fishing equipment is around $100-$200 for rod/reel combination, bait, tackle box, and so on. A larger boat will cost you between $500-$1000.
Are there any special licenses required to fish?
If you are planning to take fish out-of-state or across county lines, then no. Many states allow anglers fishing without a license. You can check with your local Fish & Wildlife office to find out what licensing is required.

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
A Spinning Rod is used when you want to cast your lure into the water without getting out of the boat. If you don’t want take too much time returning to your boat after each cast, this is the best choice. A spinning rod is designed to allow you to make casts from any position while still maintaining control of your line. There are three components to the rod: handle, butt section and reel seat. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The hook's tip can be attached to the rod's butt section. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many kinds of rods on the market today. Some rods can only be used for trolling and casting. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type of fish you intend to catch will determine the type of rod that you choose. A heavy-duty rod is best if you are targeting large predatory species such as pike or bass. For smaller species such as salmon or trout, a lighter rod might be better. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning Rods are not limited to just freshwater fishing. They can also be used for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning rods are generally heavier than their freshwater counterparts because they require stronger materials to withstand the rigors of saltwater. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. A spinning rod is not the best choice for saltwater fishing. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They can also be very expensive. A spinning rod is an option if you like to catch bigger fish.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. The weighted center of the lure turns as the lure moves through water. This causes the lure's motion to be unpredictable in the water and makes it difficult for fishes to see. Fish might also mistake the lure as food and start eating it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The fisherman can then reel in the line attached to the lure. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
