Fly fishing for cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Use a baitfish-patterned flies. This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. The hook will most likely be removed if a cobia strikes the fly. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It is also possible to use weighted 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 a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular 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 can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

How To
How to perfectly cast a fishing rod
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. When you start moving the rod forward, keep the tip of the rod perpendicular to the surface of the water. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. By doing this, the rod will move in the right direction and you won't have to bend.
A tripod can be placed on the shoreline, or on a rock ledge, to cast a heavy rod. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A low-cost spinning reel will allow for you to cast greater distances. It will also improve 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. They're easy to store away after use and protect the rod from getting damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until it becomes second nature. Casting a fishing line 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.
