Fly fishing for cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. Weighted flies are also available. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
It is important to know how to fish for tarpon. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
