Cobia Fishing in Perdido Key, FL

Cobia Fishing in Perdido Key, FL

So it's April again, and the annual Cobia migration is in full swing. It is my favorite type of fishing, and I look forward to it every year. Cobia fishing is not for everyone, but I can promise you. Once you see and catch your first one, you'll be hooked!!! So every day we can go, we ride up and down the beach from Perdido Key to Destin, looking for migrating Cobia. You'll see the fish up on the surface swimming westbound. Sometimes you'll see three or four fish or just one lonely free swimmer. Either way, once we see one, all hell breaks loose!!! You throw a live bait or a jig in front of the cobia and try to get them to bite. Sometimes they'll eat anything, but other times I've seen them refuse everything thrown at them.

That's what makes this type of fishing so exciting. It's very challenging and, at the same time, rewarding. These fish average 40-50 lbs this time of year, with plenty of fish in the 60-80lb range. It's not uncommon to catch fish upwards of 100 lbs. This is a picture of a 64lb Cobia, me and Capt Willie, caught on March 31. If you would like to try your hand at Cobia fishing.

Please call us at (850) 324-4464 or email us to reserve a date. This type of fishing will be over by about the 1st or 2nd week of May. After that, we'll have to wait until next spring. See you on the water.

Until Next Time,

Capt. Miles Howell
