Seasonal Activity Chart
Cobia
Targeting cobia around Hewlett Harbor requires venturing into the saltwater of the south shore bays and the Atlantic Ocean. While not as common as further south, cobia do migrate into these waters during the warmer months, primarily from late June through September. Focus your efforts around structure like channel markers, wrecks, and the edges of the bay where they meet the open ocean. Live eels or crabs fished near these structures are your best bet. A key local tip: pay close attention to water temperature, as cobia prefer warmer waters. Also, be mindful of strong currents in the inlets. Access to the ocean is best through one of the local marinas or public boat ramps, but be prepared for potentially crowded conditions during peak season.
