Springtime Cobia Fishing
When I think about fishing in March in the Florida Panhandle from Panama City to Pensacola two things come to mind: Number two, pompano… and number one, Cobia! The springtime cobia run in likely the most spectacular display of large cobia in the world. Fish over 100-pounds are caught here almost every year! The fish arrive on the beaches in March and move east to west toward their breeding grounds which I believe to near the nutrient rich waters offshore of the Mississippi River Delta though there is still some debate on where the fish are headed. The fish typically migrate just off of the beach and can be easily spotted in the crystal clear water this area provides.
