Fly fishing for cobia

Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. 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. The next step is to practice sight-fishing for cobia.

You should first dump all fly line in your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. You can also use weighted fly flies. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.

The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.

When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. 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. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
