Fly fishing for cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. The hook will most likely be removed if a cobia strikes the fly. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. You can also use weighted fly flies. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. Remember that tarpon will eat artificial light so you should avoid using it during the day.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
