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. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. Weighted flies are also available. 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 way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best 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 give you the best chance to catch a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. 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
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held slightly away from the body so that it is parallel to the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
To begin, keep the rod as close to you chest as possible. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
A tripod can be placed on the shoreline, or on a rock ledge, to cast a heavy rod. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve your hand eye coordination.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. 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 pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
