As all of you may have heard, we get hit by Hurricane Ian September 26, which left many people without power and homes along the SWFL coast. Since then, I myself haven't been offshore has much prior the last two weeks. We finally made it out on our first trip since the storm and man was the fishing out of this world. Our first spot we hit we dropped to the bottom and BOOM, double header cobia! After we landed both of them, we raced to drop more bait and landed a keeper gag along with many yellowtail, mangrove, and lane snappers. Many of the cobias I catch are on live Pilchards or pinfish. We usually target our cobias on structure or wrecks. I like to use a knocker rig and 2-3oz egg sinkers to help get it towards the bottom. With the cold front approaching I am sure we will see a ton more of these fish swimming in our waters. Below is a picture of the two caught a few weeks back.

I’m getting so excited for the winter cobia season after reading this! There’s nothing quite like the thrill of the hunt in Southwest Florida waters as the temperature starts to drop. Your tips on gear and location are incredibly helpful for both seasoned anglers and newcomers. Fishing requires a lot of patience and knowing exactly when to make your move. It’s that same adrenaline rush and tactical approach that I enjoy when I’m engaging with sports platforms like Lotus365 Online. Can’t wait to get out on the water and see if the cobia are biting as expected this year!
