Fly fishing 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 type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole 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. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method 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. The Lefty Kreh's deceiver is one of the most successful patterns 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 in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. Keep the rod slightly off the body, so the line is parallel to it. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
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. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, remember that the key to successful fishing is patience. Wait for the right time to strike, then work hard to catch the fish.
