Fly fishing to 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. Use a baitfish patterned fly. 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.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. Weighted flies are also available. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing for 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 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. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. Remember that tarpon will eat artificial light so you should avoid using it during the day.

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
Casting a fishing pole requires that you use your wrist to guide the rod's handle toward the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. 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 cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.
A fourth option is to purchase a fishing rod holder. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
