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. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. 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.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. 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 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 hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. 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 you the best opportunity to get a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
