Cobia
Cobia fishing near Hewlett Bay Park is a seasonal opportunity, primarily during the warmer months, from late spring to early fall. These migratory fish pass through the area as they follow baitfish. Your best bet is to target them around structure in the bay and nearshore waters. Look for them around buoys, wrecks, and channel markers, as these areas often hold baitfish that attract cobia. Live eels are considered top bait, but live bunker or crabs can also be effective. Chumming can also help draw them in. A practical tip: keep an eye out for cobia sunning themselves near the surface; they can be spotted from a distance on calm days. Always have a rod rigged and ready with a live bait to cast at these cruising fish. Be prepared for a strong fight; cobia are powerful fish. Also, be aware of the minimum size requirements for cobia, as they are strictly enforced.
