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. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. The hook will most likely be removed if a cobia strikes the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for 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's also possible to use weighted flying 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 not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. 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.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. Remember that tarpon will eat artificial light so you should avoid using it during the day.

How To
How can I clean my fishing gear properly?
There are many different types of cleaning methods available for your fishing equipment. Some are simple, while others require more advanced techniques. Most people use soap and water. It is important to rinse the item well after washing it. If you don't rinse it well enough, there's a chance that some dirt remains inside, which could cause bacteria growth. 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. Germs can be transferred to the object if you touch it.
There are many other things you can do to improve your fishing gear, besides using soap and drinking water. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. However, there are some things you shouldn't use because they can damage your goods. Bleach is one such thing. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Only use dishwashing products that are made specifically to clean fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. Surfactants are also included in dishwashing liquids that loosen dirt and grime. However, if you're worried about removing stains, you should consider using a stain remover. Oils and fats left on the surface cause most stains. Applying stain removers directly on the area from which the oil or fat has come is a good way to remove it without causing any damage to the underlying material.
The local home improvement center will carry many choices for cleaners for your fishing gear. There are many cleaners available in most stores, each with a different purpose. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can choose one that suits your needs best.
