Fly fishing for cobia
A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. Use a baitfish-patterned flies. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It is also possible use weighted Flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.

You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

How To
Why would you want to use a spinning rod instead?
Spinning rods are used to cast your lure into water without having to leave the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. The spinning rod allows you to cast from any angle and still have control over your line. There are three components to the rod: handle, butt section and reel seat. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The hook's tip can be attached to the rod's butt section. The reel seat is where the line is attached to the reel. There are many rod options available today. Some are designed to be used only for certain types of fishing, such as casting or trolling. Others can be used in a variety ways, such as fly fishing and spin fishing.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. For example, if you target large predatory species like bass or pike, you would probably want a heavy-duty rod. If you are targeting smaller species, such as trout and salmon, a lighter-weight rod may be more effective. You could even get multiple rod sizes to match the size of the fish that you wish to catch.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are often used for saltwater fishermanship. Saltwater spinning rods weigh more than their freshwater counterparts, as they need stronger materials to withstand saltwater's harsh conditions. Saltwater spinners tend to have a longer rod, but a larger diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. Instead, one must be purchased separately. They are also quite costly. A spinning rod is worth your consideration if you enjoy catching larger fish.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. When the lure moves through the water it turns around its weighted center point. This causes the lure move erratically through the water, making fish difficult to spot. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The lure's line can then be reeled in by a fisherman. After the lure has been recovered, the fisherman will be able to reel in the line until he captures the desired amount of fish.
