Fly fishing cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. You can let the line sink and then you can quickly remove it again. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. 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. 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 an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give you the best chance to catch a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.
