Fly fishing cobia
Fly rods and lines are the most widely used fishing gear for cobia fishing. But, it is important to consider the lure that you use when fishing. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for Tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. 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.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. 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 chance to catch a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. 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. To ensure that the rod is parallel to ground, it should be held at an angle. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip hits the water's surface before the line reaches the bottom, the fish won't bite. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. This will allow you secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A cheaper spinning reel will let you cast farther distances and help you improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice your casting technique until you feel comfortable with the motion. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
