Cobia
Targeting Cobia near Henlopen Acres requires a bit of planning and offshore navigation, but the potential payoff is well worth the effort. Cobia are migratory fish, and they typically arrive in the Delaware Bay and the Atlantic Ocean off the coast during the warmer months, from June through September. Look for them around buoys, wrecks, and other submerged structures, as these areas tend to hold baitfish that Cobia feed on. A popular technique is sight fishing, where you cruise slowly along the surface, looking for Cobia near the surface or around structure. Live eels are a top bait choice, but bucktails tipped with soft plastics can also be effective. Keep an eye on the local fishing reports, as Cobia movements can be unpredictable. For access, consider launching from one of the marinas in nearby Lewes. Also, be mindful of the Delaware fishing regulations for Cobia, including size and possession limits, to ensure a responsible and legal fishing experience.
