Fly fishing to cobia
A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. Use a baitfish-patterned flies. This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon.

Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
