Cobia Fishing in Florida

There’s a reason so many anglers choose to go Cobia fishing in Florida. Not only are these fish a great target for both novice and expert anglers, but they taste great too. Their widespread availability also makes them a sustainable food choice, so you can feel good about filling up the ice box.

There are plenty of ways to get a Cobia hook up. More often than not, you won’t need a complicated set-up. A medium weight spinning rod does the trick nine out of ten times. If you’re looking for a challenge, try fly fishing for them when they’re inshore and swimming close to the surface.

A good rule of thumb for finding Cobia is seeking out structure. These fish love to eat, preferring blue crab, eel, and pinfish, and structures like bridge pilings and channel markers tend to be where bait fish congregate. They’re preferred diet should also give you a clue about which bait to use!

Florida’s subtropical waters are the ideal habitat for Cobia. You’ll find them in both the Gulf and the Atlantic Coast at different times of year. From March to June, explore the stretch from Daytona Beach to Jacksonville. During the winter months, your best bet is hitting the Keys. And if you’re lucky enough to be fishing the Gulf’s nearshore waters, you can hook Cobia year-round.

What a trip - for all ages
5/5
Myself, a friend, and my 9 year old went out with Chris and he put us on the fish! In addition to over 25 snapper and grouper, we also caught a few Bonita and a Cobia. Chris went the extra mile to make sure we caught some keepers we could take home to cook. He was patient with us and my son, and we will be looking to book with him again! Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences!

Had an amazing day on the water with captain Kevin! Super friendly and very knowledgeable. Had us on fish within 10 minutes of stopping at our first stop and we had our keepers not very long after. Such a fun day I will never forget! Caught Cobia, red snapper , lesser AJs , and a couple sharks. Also got to see dolphins , manta rays and a leatherback sea turtle‼️‼️

Great Afternoon Trip
5/5
We had a great afternoon 6hr trip. The boat was exceptional. Very comfortable and had a nice cruising speed around 27knots. We caught our limit of snapper and landed some 2 undersized cobia, 2 under tree grouper and 1 25” gag grouper which was super fun to catch but unfortunately out of season. The captain did an amazing job with moving us around to more active fishing spots and keeping our lines baited. We would definitely use them again.

Great Day for big fish!
5/5
We had a great experience with Captain William hunting for the big one. My daughter wanted to catch a big fish. Captain William presented her with that opportunity several times with big fish on her line, but yep the big one(s) got away! We did boat a smaller Goliath, Cobia and several snapper. Conditions were a challenge, but Captain William really worked to get us in the spots and present several baits at different levels to catch fish. We’ll get them next time!!

Dave treated us like family. Caught a 32+ pound cobia, kingfish, mahi, flounder and a bunch of other fish off wrecks. If you want to catch a PB, this is your captain. We’ll be back next year!
