How We Fish

Cobia

Cobia are strong, solitary fish that often travel alone or in small groups. They are known for their curiosity and will often approach boats or investigate floating objects. This behavior makes them excellent targets for sight fishing. We often spot them cruising the shallows or around offshore structures like wrecks and buoys. When we see one, the technique is to cast a jig or live bait in front of its path, hoping for an aggressive bite. They are powerful fighters and provide a great battle on appropriate tackle.
