Cobia
While Weedsport, New York, isn't typically known for saltwater fishing, an adventurous angler targeting Cobia might find a unique, albeit challenging, opportunity. Given Weedsport's inland location, this would require a significant trip to the Atlantic coast. Consider targeting areas like Long Island Sound or further south along the New Jersey or Delaware coasts. Cobia are typically found in warmer waters, so the best time to fish for them would be during the summer months, from June to September. Look for them around structures like buoys, pilings, and wrecks. A practical tip is to focus your efforts near the mouths of bays and estuaries where Cobia often congregate during their migration. Be prepared for a long drive and research local regulations in the coastal areas you plan to fish, as Cobia management can vary. Keep in mind that targeting Cobia from Weedsport requires considerable planning and travel.
