Cobia
If you're targeting cobia near Selbyville, Delaware, your best bet is to head offshore into the Atlantic. Cobia here are migratory, so the late summer and early fall (August-October) are prime times to find them. They often congregate around buoys, wrecks, and other structure, so that's where you'll want to focus your efforts. Live eels or bunker are top bait choices, but jigs and large soft plastics can also be effective. Indian River Inlet is a popular access point to launch your boat, but be aware that currents can be strong, so plan your trip accordingly. Cobia in this area can reach impressive sizes, so be prepared for a fight!
