Cobia
While Port Dickinson itself is inland, anglers targeting cobia in New York will need to head towards the saltwater of Long Island Sound or the Atlantic Ocean. The Long Island Sound offers a unique opportunity to intercept cobia as they migrate north during the warmer months. Look for them around structure like buoys, wrecks, and channel markers, especially from late June through September. These fish are often following schools of bunker or other baitfish. A practical tip: focus your efforts around the eastern end of Long Island Sound where the water tends to be clearer and slightly warmer. Public access boat ramps are available in towns like Orient Point and Montauk. Be aware that cobia fishing in New York requires a saltwater fishing license and adherence to specific size and bag limits, so check the regulations before you go. The cobia population here is relatively small compared to southern states, making each catch a rewarding experience.
