Seasonal Activity Chart
Cobia
Targeting cobia out of Port Fourchon means understanding the seasonal movements of their prey. These fish are drawn to the numerous oil rigs and platforms in the Gulf, which act as artificial reefs and attract baitfish. Spring and fall are prime times, coinciding with the cobia migration. Focus your efforts around structures in 40-80 feet of water. Live crabs and eels are hard to beat, but bucktail jigs tipped with squid also produce. Water clarity is key; cobia are sight feeders. A helpful tip: check local tide charts and fish the outgoing tide, as it often concentrates baitfish around these structures. Be prepared for a fight – cobia are known for their powerful runs! Also, be aware of regulations regarding allowable size and number of fish.
