Cobia fishing near Point Clear, Alabama, is an exciting opportunity, especially during their migration periods. These powerful fish are often found shadowing rays or other large marine life. The key to success lies in understanding their seasonal movements and preferred forage. Spring and early summer are prime times as Cobia migrate along the coast. Keep an eye out for them near buoys, channel markers, and floating debris. Use natural presentations, such as live eels or crabs, to entice a strike. Adjust your depth based on water temperature and current conditions; Cobia often cruise at different depths depending on these factors. The Mobile Bay is a great place to start. A practical tip: have a pitch bait ready at all times, as Cobia are notorious for showing up unexpectedly. Also, be aware of Alabama's Cobia regulations regarding size and bag limits to ensure a responsible and enjoyable fishing trip.
