Fly fishing to cobia
The most popular tackle for fishing for cobia is a fly rod or line, but a fishing lure can also be useful. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. You can also use weighted fly flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. As you move the rod forward, ensure that the rod tip is perpendicular with the water's surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
