Cobia
Targeting Cobia from Union Point requires a trip to the Georgia coast, where these powerful fish patrol the nearshore waters. Focus your efforts around structures like buoys, channel markers, and wrecks, as Cobia often congregate in these areas. Sight fishing is a popular and effective method; cruise the waters and look for Cobia near the surface or around floating debris. Spring and early summer are typically the best times, as Cobia migrate along the coast. Live eels or large jigs are excellent bait choices. A local tip is to always have a rod rigged and ready, as Cobia can appear unexpectedly. Public boat ramps offer access to the coastal waters where Cobia are found. Be prepared for a strong fight, as Cobia are known for their stamina. They're prized gamefish, and a memorable catch!
