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. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. The hook will most likely be removed if a cobia strikes the fly. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. 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. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
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. One of the most effective patterns for tarpon is the Lefty Kreh's deceiver. This streamer is tied to a 2/0 hook which will drive it home.
When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will ensure that you have the best chance of getting a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
