Cobia
Targeting Cobia near Brockport, NY, is highly improbable. Cobia are a saltwater species typically found in warmer coastal waters, far from the freshwater environment of Lake Ontario and the Erie Canal. While the Canal does connect to the Hudson River and eventually the Atlantic, the likelihood of Cobia migrating that far inland is extremely low. For a realistic chance to catch Cobia, you'll need to travel to saltwater locations along the Atlantic coast. Cobia are often found near structures like buoys, pilings, and wrecks. They are also known to follow large rays. Spring and summer are generally the best times to target them. Remember to check local fishing regulations and obtain the necessary permits for saltwater fishing in your chosen location.
