Port Canaveral Cobia Fishing Guides
Sightfishing cobia with a professional charter guide at
Port Canaveral Florida.
The cobia have been in full migration the last part of February
and Early March this year and Dr. Doug Sanders took Cobia
Fishing Guide Capt. Richard and Captain Rocky VanHoose
for an afternoon of sight fishing and fun. We spent less than
three hours of actual fishing before the weather pushed us
back into Port Canaveral
where we trailered the boat and went home for a fresh grilled
cobia dinner with wild rice and black beans.
Cobia fishing can be as exciting as fishing gets, when the
water temperature rises after or during the winter months
expect fish to show up around Cape Canaveral and anglers to
be pursuing them when the weather's fair and the skies are
clear.
We used chartreus jigs and rubber eels this day, but cobia
love live bait and even bang on topwater lures or plugs. Fishing
with a tower boat is an absolute necessity if you want to
be successful at seeing cobia from a distance. You can find
cobia free swimming on the surface or around floatsome or
bottom structure like a wreck. "We've seen cobia relating
to big marine animals like manta rays, whale sharks, big coastal
sharks and turtles," explains Captain Richard Bradley
a local Port Canaveral Charter Captain that has a tower boat
with dual controls and over 70 gallons of live wells to keep
fresh lively offerings to the most finicky cobia on the Space
Coast.

"We saw a several hundred pound thresher shark breach
the water right off the back of the boat and had cobia swim
right beside us. It's great to be in the ocean and let Capt.
Richard show us it's bounty".

has some of the best cobia fishing during the spring cobia
migration running north to their summer grounds along the
eastern seaboard of the United States.
