Fly fishing for 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. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it 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. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It is also possible to use weighted flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way 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. You can make a big difference in your success rate by choosing the right hook size and material. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give you the best chance to catch a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.

How To
How to perfectly cast a fishing rod
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
