Cobia are a highly prized gamefish for their strength and size, as well as their food value. They frequent wrecks and structure, migrating through the area and taking up station on these wrecks. While the wily charter captain can guess as to where they might be, he generally can\'t know that they are there. So one must be an opportunist when fishing wrecks during times of the year when the cobia are around, and present baits that would appeal to them. The cobia have to be at the spot, and be hungry, for success with this fish. The bad news is that sometimes they will circle the boat and refuse to eat anything you offer them. The good news is that if he hits and you lose him, in about twenty minutes he will have forgotten the fight and often hit again. Years ago we Marco Island charter captains used to get cobia in the 80 and 90 pound class, but these are few and far between anymore, and on Enterprise a 50 pounder would nowadays be considered big.
