Ocean City Cobia · Ocean City, Maryland

Cobia on wrecks and reefs?

Answer

Nearshore wrecks and artificial reefs hold cobia when water warms—vertical jigs and live baits on heavy leaders beat light bay tackle. Multi-species wreck days may also produce sea bass and amberjack. Sort species carefully at the rail.
