Fly fishing for cobia
Fly rods and lines are the most widely used fishing gear for cobia fishing. But, it is important to consider the lure that you use when fishing. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for 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. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. Weighted flies are also available. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. 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. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. Remember that tarpon will eat artificial light so you should avoid using it during the day.

- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique can help increase the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
A tripod can be placed on the shoreline, or on a rock ledge, to cast a heavy rod. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more expensive one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with 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. These holders are easy-to-store and prevent rod damage.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
