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 fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It is also possible to use weighted 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 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. You can make a big difference in your success rate by choosing the right hook size and material. The Lefty Kreh's deceiver is one of the most successful patterns for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

FAQ
What is the best bait for freshwater fishing?
Live shrimp is the best bait for freshwater fishing. Shrimp are great for freshwater fishing because they are cheap and easy to catch.
Where is the best place for fishing?
You can fish near rivers, lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies. These areas provide fish with plenty of food.
How often should I replace my lures?
Every few days, lures should be changed. After being exposed to the sun for too long, lures lose their effectiveness.
Is it possible to fish at night or during the day?
But you must ensure that you use artificial light. Fisherman use artificial light to attract fish. They work well when the sun goes down because fish become more active after dark.
What happens when I get caught illegally fishing
You could face penalties, jail time, or even losing your fishing license. Before you start fishing, it is important to be familiar with the rules.
To fish, you will need a Bobber
Yes. A bobber keeps the bait safe from being taken by other fisherman when they are fishing. There are two parts to a bobber: the float, and the line. You attach the hook and line to the lure. Once the line is out, let go of it. A bobber is not necessary to cast a lure. The lure could sink into the waters, making it difficult for the fish bite.

How To
How do I clean fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some of them are very basic, while others require advanced techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. 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. The risk of spreading germs is high if you touch dirty objects.
You can do many things to improve the fishing gear's quality, other than using soap and water. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. You should avoid certain substances, however, as they could cause damage to your goods. Bleach is one such thing. Bleach can be used to dissolve plastics and metals, so don't ever use bleach to clean your fishing equipment. Instead, you should use warm water and dishwashing liquid. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing liquids contain enzymes and chemicals that help break down organic materials such as scales, slime, and blood. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. You should still consider using a stain-removal product if you are worried about stain removal. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain-removal products directly to the affected area will help remove the stain and not damage 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 cleaners are designed to work with very small amounts of grease while others can handle large quantities. You can pick the one that is most suitable for you.
