Fly fishing for cobia
The most popular tackle for fishing for cobia is a fly rod or line, but a fishing lure can also be useful. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it 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. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. Weighted flies are also available. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod 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. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. 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.

FAQ
What length is the perfect fishing rod length?
The kind of fish that you are looking to catch determines the length of your fishing line. A 6'6' rod would work best if you are looking for smallmouth Bass. If you want to catch largemouth bass, however, a 7’5" rod might be more suitable.
Are you able to fish without a bobber?
Yes, you do! A bobber helps keep the bait in place when you fish. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line. To cast a lure, attach the hook to one end of the line. Then, pull the rod out and release the line. The lure can sink in the water if the bobber isn't used.
Is it possible to fish at night or during the day?
But you must ensure that you use artificial light. Fisherman use artificial lighting to attract them. These lights work best after the sun sets because fish are more active at night.
Are there different types?
Yes, there is a wide range of lures. Some lures are specifically made for certain fish species. Some lures are designed to mimic insects, frogs and crayfish. Lures come in various shapes and sizes. Some lures are even designed to look like real bugs.
What gear is necessary for fishing?
You will need a rod, reel and line. Hooks, bait, tackle boxes, and snacks are also needed. Casting, setting up a hook and using a bobber are essential skills for catching fish. Be patient and wait until you catch the fish.

- 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)
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. 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 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. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. You'll be able rest your rod securely and still have control of the reel.
Third, consider getting a small reel over a more 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 is another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
