Cobia

While Wills Point, Texas, might seem landlocked, anglers can still chase Cobia by understanding the dynamics of nearby saltwater and brackish systems. Cobia fishing here hinges on seasonal forage migrations and water conditions that influence where these nomadic fish travel. Focus your efforts on areas where saltwater influence is most pronounced, seeking out channels and deeper holes where baitfish congregate. Spring and fall are prime times, as Cobia follow migrating bait schools. Using natural presentations is key; live eels or menhaden are hard to beat. Be prepared to adjust your depth based on temperature and current; Cobia often hold near the bottom in deeper water. A practical tip: monitor water salinity levels – a sudden influx of fresh water can push Cobia further downstream. Access points along the Sabine River offer opportunities to intercept these fish as they move. Remember to check local regulations regarding size and bag limits for Cobia, as they can change frequently.
