Fly fishing for 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 fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. You can also use weighted fly 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 a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon are not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. 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. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. 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. 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.
These tips will help you feel more comfortable casting a fishing rod.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
You may also want to place a tripod along the shoreline or on top of a rock ledge when casting heavy rods. By doing this, you'll be able to rest the rod securely while holding the reel.
Third, you may want to consider buying a small reel instead of 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.
Fourth, you may also want to consider purchasing a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until you get used to the motion. Casting a fishing rod takes practice.
Sixth, patience will be your key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
