Cobia
Targeting Cobia near New Orleans offers a unique angling experience, primarily in the nearshore waters and around structures in the Gulf. These fish are often found around buoys, channel markers, and oil rigs, as well as following rays and other large marine life. Spring and early summer are prime times, as Cobia migrate along the coast. Sight fishing is a popular and effective method; keep an eye out for them cruising near the surface. Live eels, crabs, or large shrimp are excellent bait choices. Be ready for a powerful fight, as Cobia are known for their long runs and stubborn resistance. A practical tip: always have a rod rigged and ready with a large jig or bucktail in case you spot a Cobia while targeting other species. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, as these can change periodically.
