Seasonal Activity Chart
Cobia
Pascagoula offers some prime cobia opportunities, particularly during their spring migration following baitfish schools. The unique confluence of the Pascagoula River and the Gulf of Mexico creates a rich feeding ground. Focus your efforts around the nearshore oil rigs, buoys, and shipping channels where cobia tend to congregate. Prime time is typically April through June. Live eels or crabs are hard to beat when targeting these fish. Water clarity is key – cobia are sight feeders. A local tip: check the tide charts and fish the outgoing tide near the mouth of the river, as this often pulls bait and attracts cobia. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can change, and have your saltwater fishing license up to date.
