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. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. Weighted flies are also available. You can use a sinking rod and a weighted flies if sight casting proves difficult. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
Fly fishing is the best method to catch big tarpon. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. 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. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting 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. Most people use soap and water. After washing the item, rinse it thoroughly. 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. When cleaning any item, you must avoid touching its surface. You risk spreading germs to objects if you touch them.
In addition to using soap and water, there are many things that you can do to improve the quality of your fishing gear. For example, depending on your type of gear, you might want to use special detergents or solvents. There are certain things that you should never use, though, because they could damage your goods. Bleach is a common example. Bleach can dissolve metal and plastic so don't use it for cleaning your fishing gear. Use warm water and a dishwashing liquid instead. Use only dishwashing fluids specifically made for cleaning fish. Dishwashing fluids contain chemicals and enzymes that break down organic materials, such as blood, slime and scales. Surfactants help remove dirt and grime from surfaces. A stain remover is recommended if you have concerns about stain removal. Most stains are caused by oil and fats that have remained on the gear's surface. Applying stain removers directly to the area where the oil or fat came from helps remove the stain without damaging the underlying material.
Your local home improvement store will have many options for cleaning your fishing gear. Most stores carry several kinds of cleaners designed for different purposes.
