Fly fishing to cobia
A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in 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 use weighted Flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. You should always have a fly rod ready 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. You can make a big difference in your success rate by choosing the right hook size and material. One of the most effective patterns for tarpon is the Lefty Kreh's deceiver. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
You must first know how to cast a fish rod. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. Move the rod forward by keeping the rod's tip perpendicular the water. Fish won't bite if the rod's tip touches the surface of the water before it reaches the bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
Here are some tips to help you cast a rod confidently.
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.
A tripod can be placed on the shoreline, or on a rock ledge, to cast a heavy rod. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A spinning reel that is inexpensive will enable you to cast further distances and improve your hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders can hold your rod securely while keeping it upright. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fish rod is a skill that takes time.
Sixth, patience and perseverance are the keys to fishing success. Waiting for the right moment to strike is key to successful fishing. Then, work hard to get the fish in.
