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. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. You can also use weighted fly flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.

How To
How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. You can use soap and warm water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. There's a possibility of bacteria growth if the item is not rinsed well. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. It is best to dry your items thoroughly before you store them. Avoid touching the item's surface when cleaning. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. Certain things are best avoided as they can cause damage to your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach is known for dissolving plastic and metal so you should not use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. They also contain surfactants that help loosen dirt and grime from surfaces. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
There are many cleaners available for fishing gear at your local hardware store. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
