Fly fishing to 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 fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. 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.
The fly line should be emptied 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. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon are not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. 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 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 can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some of these methods are very basic while others require more advanced techniques. Use soap and water is the most popular method. Always rinse your item after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. If this happens, it can lead to bad odors and even more serious infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. Touching something that is dirty can spread germs.
Apart from using soap, water, there are many ways you can improve the quality and performance of your fishing gear. You may need to use solvents or detergents that are specific to your gear. You should avoid certain substances, however, as they could cause damage to your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach is known to dissolve plastic and metal, so you shouldn't ever use it to clean your fishing gear. Instead, use warm water with a dishwashing solution. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing liquids have enzymes and chemical that help to break down organic material such as scales. They also contain surfactants which remove dirt from surfaces. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
You'll find many options in your local home improvement shop if you are looking for cleaner solutions for your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can choose which one best suits your needs.
