Fly fishing to 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 flies. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. 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. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. One of the most effective patterns for tarpon is the Lefty Kreh's deceiver. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel 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 allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
