This type of fly sinks and is best cast at high speed. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next, practice sight-fishing cobia.

This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.

Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will allow you to have the best chance of catching a fish. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
