Cobia
Cobia fishing near Dewey Beach is a thrilling opportunity for anglers seeking a powerful gamefish. These bruisers migrate into Delaware Bay and the coastal waters off Dewey Beach during the summer months, typically from June to September. Look for them around buoys, channel markers, and wrecks, as these structures provide ambush points. Sight fishing is also popular when conditions allow, cruising the surface of the water. Live eels are a top bait choice, but bucktails and large soft plastics can also be effective. A key tip is to chum with bunker to draw cobia to your boat. Cobia in this region are known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, so be sure to use heavy tackle. Access to the fishing grounds is primarily by boat, with several marinas in the area offering charters and rentals. Remember to check Delaware's fishing regulations for size and creel limits.
