Fly fishing for 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. Use a baitfish patterned fly. 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 is to learn 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. You can also use weighted fly flies. 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 to tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. 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 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 on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will give your best chance of landing 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.
