Got out this morning in search of another cobia outta Jones and we fished the pods and after only a few drifts through them we nailed this beauty! Great eating fish, can’t wait to have it! Water temp was 74. Great fighting fish.

Are you using bunker for bait? Tackle? Technique?

They use 2 oz. bucktails down South for Cobia, they cast out and reel back in sharply jigging the bucktail. Wonder if it would work up here ? I have a bunch of frozen bunker, you think they'd take dead bunker floating down ?

I doubt they would take dead frozen bunker. Just find the pods and snag a fresh one!
