Fly fishing for cobia
The most popular tackle for fishing for cobia is a fly rod or line, but a fishing lure can also be useful. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. 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. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want 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. You can make a big difference in your success rate by choosing the right hook size and material. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. 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.
