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. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. 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. You should always have a fly rod ready 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 typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give you the best chance to catch a strike. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.
Ken Tenaka's fly fishing videos
You may have seen one of Ken Tenaka's fly fishing videos, but did you know that he also has multiple fly fishing YouTube channels? He has vlogs, cool edits, and some great tips to share with the fishing community. Sport Fishing on the Fly (his show) has been airing in North America for the past 26 years.

Hirata-san's tenkara fly fishing
You might be surprised to know that the methods that Hirata-san uses to catch fish have been his mainstays for five decades. These methods are the basis of tenkara. They have changed over time but remain unchanged. His techniques are known also as the "Shokuryoshischool" methods. These techniques are also grounded in traditional techniques for catching fish.
This video covers the history of tenkara flies fishing and offers detailed advice on choosing the right flies. Hirata-san uses a handfurled horsehairline and hand-ties his flies. He also discusses how to tie a horsehair line without using a vice. His techniques include presentation, onstream casting and hook setting.
FAQ
How far away should I stand while fishing?
The farther you stand from the shore, the more likely you are to catch fish. However, it also increases the chance of getting soaked.
What is the average time it takes to become a professional fisherman?
You need to practice for years before you can become a proficient fisherman. Being a successful fisherman will require you to master new techniques and enhance your skills.
What length is the perfect fishing rod length?
The size of the fish you want to catch will dictate the length of the fishing rod. If you want to catch smallmouth bass, a rod of 6'6 inches would be the best. If you want to catch largemouth bass, however, a 7’5" rod might be more suitable.
Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)

How To
How to cast a fishing rod perfectly
The first thing you must know when casting a fishing rod is to use your wrist to move the rod's handle smoothly towards the water. The rod should be held at a slight angle from the body so that the line is parallel to the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. If the tip of the rod touches the water's surface, fish won’t bite. You can increase the distance between the tip of the rod and the surface of the water by practicing this technique.
Here are some tips for casting a rod if you're not confident yet.
The first thing you should do is to hold the rod at your chest. You can control the rod's direction by this method without having to bend down.
If you are casting a large rod, it is a good idea to put a tripod on the shoreline. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
A third option is to buy a smaller reel than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
A fishing pole holder might be another option. These holders are designed to hold the rod firmly while keeping it upright. These holders can be stored away easily after each use, and they protect the rod from being damaged.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing pole takes practice.
Sixth, patience is the key to successful fishing. You need to wait until the right moment strikes and then work hard for the fish.
