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 type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted 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.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. 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. You can make a big difference in your success rate by choosing the right hook size and material. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best 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. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

How To
How to Fish in Freshwater
Freshwater fishing means catching fish from freshwater streams, lakes and rivers. Bass, catfish, crappie and trout are the most commonly caught fish. These species can be caught in a variety different ways. There are many methods that can be used to catch these fish, including trolling (casting), trolling, spinnerbaits (spinnerbaits), flyfishing and baitcasting.
Finding a good spot to catch fish is the first step in any fishing endeavor. This typically means you need to choose a location close to your water supply. Next, you need to decide on the type of equipment that you want.
It is important to choose bait that looks similar to food for live bait. Live bait is made up of worms (minnows), crickets (frogs), bloodworms (bloodworms), grasshoppers, and any other small insects.
Artificial lures can be used. These baits are made of plastic, wood feathers rubber metal foam and other materials. Artificial lures are available in many sizes and shapes. They are able to imitate aquatic prey, such as shiners, crawfish, grubs, minnows, and other animals. Lures are popular because they require little skill to throw them in the water. When they land on their target, lures can be set up quickly and easily removed.
You might want to learn how to cast if you don’t want live bait or want to try new techniques. Casting is one way to catch fish. Casting requires little effort and does not require any special skills.
All you need are a rod and reel, line, sinker, floatant and hooks. Casting with a simple pole is easy. To cast, simply raise the rod vertically from the water surface. Slowly lower your rod so it touches the water. The line will begin unwinding from the reel once it reaches the water. Once the line has reached its maximum length, release the rod and let the lure drop back into the water.
Trolling is another method for catching fish. Trolling uses a boat to propel a lure through water.
Fishing can be fun and rewarding. There are many different types of fishing available and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some techniques are easier than others. However, they require patience and practice.
