Cobia
Cobia fishing around Chalmette, Louisiana, offers exciting opportunities, especially during their migratory runs. These powerful fish are drawn to the area's rich forage and diverse structure. Spring and early summer are prime times, as Cobia follow shrimp and baitfish movements in the brackish waters. Focus your efforts around channel markers, pilings, and any floating debris, as Cobia often use these as ambush points or resting spots. Live eels or crabs are irresistible, but bucktail jigs tipped with soft plastics can also be highly effective. Water clarity plays a crucial role; clearer water generally leads to better success. A useful tip is to target areas where the Mississippi River's influence meets the Gulf, creating nutrient-rich zones. Consider launching from the marinas in Shell Beach for easy access to the Biloxi Marsh and surrounding waters. Be prepared for a fight; these fish are known for their strength and endurance.
