Fly fishing for 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. 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, practice sight-fishing cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. You can also use weighted fly flies. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod for hungry cobia.

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
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. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique will increase the distance between the rod's tip and the water surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. This will allow you to control the rod's movement without having to bend.
Second, when casting a heavy rod, you may want to set up a tripod on the shoreline or on a rock ledge. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel can be used to cast longer distances, and it will also help you with your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder is another option. These holders are made to securely hold the rod while maintaining its upright position. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
