Fly fishing to 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 fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, you can practice sight-fishing to catch cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. Remember, you need to have a ready fly rod for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for Tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. 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.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. 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. Remember that tarpon will eat artificial light so you should avoid using it during the day.
