    (8 Hour Trip – Near/Offshore (4 MAX))

    Cap’n Aaron knows his stuff!

    we had a great trip fishing today! I told him we really wanted to catch some Mahi. He lwt me know they are there but usually May-June is the best time. Right off the bat he put us right on top of Mahi! Then he took us to where the Amber Jack were all over the top of the water! My son and I had a great day! His boat and tackle were very clean and he and his crew were very polite and made the experience that much more enjoyable!

Cobia fishing is all about power, sight, and surprise. Cobia are prized game fish known for strong runs and stubborn fights. They often cruise near the surface or hang around wrecks, buoys, and channel markers. Anglers love them for the challenge, the visual strikes, and their excellent table quality.

You can target Cobia by sight casting, which means casting to fish you can see. They also respond well to bottom fishing near structure, slow trolling live baits, and working heavy jigs. Chumming, or spreading small pieces of bait to draw fish in, can help. Popular baits include live eels, crabs, and bait fish. Keep a pitch rod ready so you can cast fast when a fish appears.

Expect steady action and sudden excitement when a dark shape appears beside the boat. Cobia fight hard and may make long runs under the boat. This makes them fun for experienced anglers and doable for beginners with guidance. Bring polarized sunglasses to spot fish, sun protection, non-slip shoes, and a camera. Use strong but simple tackle, and listen to your captain on safe handling. If releasing fish, keep them in the water as much as possible and support their weight.

Before your trip, check local fishing regulations. Make sure you have the right fishing license or permit. Confirm current seasons, area rules, and harvest limits where you plan to fish. Regulations can change and may differ between nearby waters, so review the latest guidance from local authorities.
