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. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way 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 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 most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. 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.

How do you clean your fishing gear?
There are many cleaning options for fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. Always rinse your item after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. This would lead to a bad smell and even worse infections if left untreated. Drying the items thoroughly before placing them in storage is a good way to avoid this. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Use warm water and a dishwashing liquid instead. You should only use dishwashing liquids made specifically for cleaning fish. Dishwashing detergents are formulated with enzymes and other chemicals to help dissolve organic materials like blood, slime, scales, and slime. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. But, if staining is a concern, you might consider using a stain eliminator. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
