Cobia
Targeting Cobia near Keysville, Georgia, requires a trip to the coast. While Keysville is inland, the Georgia coast offers access to Cobia fishing in the Atlantic. Focus your efforts around structures like buoys, channel markers, and artificial reefs. The spring and early summer months are generally the best time to target Cobia as they migrate along the coast. Sight fishing is a popular method; look for them cruising near the surface or around structure. Live eels, crabs, or large jigs are effective baits. A local tip: always have a pitch bait ready when fishing around buoys, as Cobia often hold tight to these structures. Also, be prepared for a tough fight – Cobia are known for their strength and stamina.
