Fly fishing for cobia
While a fly rod and line are the most common tackle used when fishing for cobia, the fishing lure is also an important consideration. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. Sinking lines can catch more cobia than other methods. You can also use weighted fly 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 is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. 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 deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
It is important to know how to fish for tarpon. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. 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.

How To
How do you clean your 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. Use soap and water is the most popular method. You should always ensure you rinse the item thoroughly 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. Untreated, this can cause bad smells and worse infections. This can be prevented by drying the items thoroughly before storing them. 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.
Other than washing your gear with soap and water, there are other ways to enhance the quality of your fishing equipment. Special detergents and solvents may be necessary depending on what type of gear you have. There are certain things that you should never use, though, because they could damage your goods. One of these things is bleach. Bleach has been known to disintegrate plastic and metal so it shouldn't be used to clean fishing gear. Instead, warm water and dishwashing soap are best. Dishwashing liquids that are specifically designed for cleaning fish should be used only. Dishwashing solutions contain enzymes and chemicals that aid in the breakdown of organic materials such blood, slime, and scales. They also contain surfactants, which help to remove dirt and grime. However, if you're worried about removing stains, you should consider using a stain remover. Stains are usually caused by oils and fats that remain on the surface of the gear. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
There are many cleaners available for fishing gear at your local hardware store. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes. Some can be used to clean small amounts of grease and others for larger amounts. You can choose the one that fits your needs the best.
