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. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The fly line should be emptied 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. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as 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 Easily
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique can help increase the distance between your rod tip and the water's surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
Begin by holding the rod close to your chest. This way, you can easily control the rod's direction without bending down.
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 secure your rod and reel while keeping it in place.
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 are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. It takes time to master the art of casting a fishing rod.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
