Fly fishing cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly 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 ensure that you have the best chance of getting a strike. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. But you must keep in mind that tarpon are predatory, so it is advisable to avoid artificial light 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 at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. This will allow you to secure the rod while still holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until the motion becomes natural. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. Waiting for the right moment is crucial. Once the strike occurs, you must work hard to reel in the fish.
