Cobia Fishin'

[Montauk17]

Looking for any tips on how far out I need to go out of grand chenier or cameron to get to cobia waters. Will be using a 22' skeeter bay so I won't be going too far. Any tips would be helpful.

Thanks D....I heard you can catch them late in the summer at the first few rigs out of the cameron jetties,any truth to that?

Buddy saw some 55 miles out of FWC yesterday. Got one to bite but didn't hook it.

Go out about 7 to 10 buoys from the end of the jettys.
That's about as close as they normally get.
Some might be closer, but not many.

Fishin must be a lot easier than deer huntin! I'm gonna try that technique this coming season! Gonna ride circles around a thicket on my 4 wheeler & see if a deer pokes his head out!!!!
Sorry....couldn't help it

Try walking instead, making a little noise.....then sit a while. It might work.

Lil too far for a 22' bay boat. Unless it is calm like it was today.
