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 flies. 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 is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. You can also use weighted fly flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method 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. The Lefty Kreh's deceiver is one of the most successful patterns for tarpon. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
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 ensure that you have the best chance of getting a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets 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 to cast a fishing rod perfectly
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. 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.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
