Fly fishing for cobia
Fly rods and lines are the most widely used fishing gear for cobia fishing. But, it is important to consider the lure that you use when fishing. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. You can also use weighted fly flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. The Lefty Kreh's deceiver is one of the most successful patterns for tarpon. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.
When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give you the best chance to catch 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.

- Coarse fishing is 100% catch and release these days. (linesonthewater.anglingtrust.net)
- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
How to Perfectly Cast a Fishing Rod
First, you need to know how to cast a fishing line. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. Keep the rod's tip parallel to the water when you move it forward. The fish will not bite if the tip touches the water's surface prior to the line reaching the bottom. This technique can be used to increase distance between the tip and water surface.
If you don't feel comfortable casting a rod yet, here are some tips to make it easier.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
Third, you might consider buying a smaller reel as an alternative to a larger one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. These holders are easy to store and protect your rod from damage.
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.
