Congratulations on a fish you don't see caught up north every day, even if they're making their presence more known. That's a nice Cobia in anyone's books. If you don't mind me asking, what were you trolling when it hit? That'll make your day for sure! Great job!

Most cobia are caught within sight of land... the Cheesy is loaded with them.....mudhole is considered inshore also

It seems there is a northward migration early this year - early
look at all the bonita, spanish macs and even the really early arrival of kingfish

I wonder what's next???? My money is on croakers
