Alex for the tarpon (and Trevs for that matter) try the "glow" sliders in the smallest size. Use these with 1/16th or 1/8th ounce jig heads and she will be apples. Also if you have one - bust out the fly rod. i have noticed that with fly the ratio of strikes to hookup and hookups to captures is greatly increased - and just as mackmauler said its mainly due to the fish having little leaverage against the fly.
Flies to use are bead headed wooly buggers, small clousers or charlies and rust buckets.
I fish for Trevally in Ballina a fair bit. I only just moved here last year and i wasnt having any luck with poppers. I was in a tackle shop at the gold coast and was speaking to the owner and i recieved the best bit of advice ever: use the yellowy-greeny 'Slider tails' with their black hooks. Cast them out there, and instead of doing all the fancy twitching, wind the rod and reel around the handle. That is, hold the handle still and to wind move the rod and reel instead of the handle. Haven't stoped catching them since! Good luck.....thanks must go to the guy in Coomera Bait and Tackle, only a small shop but he knows his shit!
i mainly fish Maroochy.. but i also sometimes head down the road and fish mooloolaba.. got a few the other night on 2" glow tripletail soft plastics.. got some 2" shads during the week and they should be awesome on trevally because they are glow atomics.. some big trevs around at the moment.. plus Jacks, Tarpon, Giant Herring and all that.. If you ever see my boat.. give us a yell
