Fly fishing to 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. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. 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, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. It's also possible to use weighted flying 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 for Tarpon
Fly fishing is the best way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. 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.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. 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. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
