Cobia
Chasing cobia near Lafitte, Louisiana, is all about understanding the movement of bait. This area, with its proximity to the Gulf and intricate network of bayous, sees cobia following shrimp, crabs, and mullet migrations. Spring and fall are prime times, as water temperatures moderate and cobia move closer to shore. Focus your efforts around structures like oil rigs, channel markers, and even floating debris – these are cobia magnets. Tides play a huge role; incoming tides often bring in cleaner, saltier water that cobia prefer. A local tip: Live eels or crabs are tough to beat, but be prepared to adjust your depth based on the current. Also, the Barataria Waterway provides good boat access, but be mindful of shallow areas and oyster beds. Cobia in this region are known for their aggressive strikes, so hold on tight!
