Fly fishing for cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. Use a baitfish-patterned flies. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get 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. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. 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 your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon.

This will ensure that you have the best chance of getting a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon.
