Cobia

Cobia

Various

Targeting cobia around Houma, Louisiana, requires understanding the nuances of our coastal waters. This area, laced with brackish bayous and proximity to the Gulf, provides unique feeding grounds. Cobia here are heavily influenced by seasonal forage, particularly crabs and smaller baitfish that thrive in the marshy environments. Peak season is generally late spring through early fall when water temperatures rise. A key to success is adapting your presentation based on water clarity and current. In clearer waters, natural presentations like live eels or crabs are deadly. In dirtier water, opt for brightly colored jigs or lures. Pay close attention to depth, as cobia will often adjust their position based on temperature and current breaks. A local tip: the pilings around the Highway 56 bridge are known cobia hotspots, but be mindful of boat traffic and strong currents. Also, keep an eye on crab pot buoys; these often hold cobia looking for an easy meal.
