Fly fishing to 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 type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in 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 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 not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. The size of the hook and the type of material that you choose will have a significant impact on your success rates. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. 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 active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.

How To
How do I properly clean my fishing gear?
There are many types of cleaning techniques that you can use to clean your fishing gear. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. The most common method is to use soap and water. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly after washing it. You could end up with bacteria growth if you don't thoroughly rinse the item. If it is not cleaned properly, it could lead to an unpleasant odor or worse infections. Drying the items thoroughly before placing them in storage is a good way to avoid this. Another thing that you should keep in mind when doing any type of cleaning is to avoid touching the surface of the item. 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. Some things should not be used, though, as they may cause damage to your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Warm water and a dishwashing detergent are better choices. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. If you are concerned about stain removal, you can use a stain remover. Oils and fats can cause stains. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging 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 of them are meant to deal with small amounts of grease, while others are intended to handle larger quantities. The one that best suits your needs is available.
