Cobia Fishing Videos

Cobia fishing combines the visual excitement of stalking visible fish with the strategic challenge of working structure. These powerful, nomadic predators migrate along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts each spring and fall, reaching 50 to 100+ pounds. Unlike species that hold tight to reefs, cobia patrol large areas, following rays, hugging buoys, and cruising wrecks, which means you need adaptable tactics to connect consistently.

The real challenge? Cobia move constantly. One day they're riding manta rays in 30 feet of water, the next they're hanging on a deep wreck at 120 feet. Success requires reading conditions, understanding seasonal patterns, and having multiple approaches ready. That's where these professional video courses become valuable.

What You'll Learn About Cobia Fishing

Our instructors break down proven techniques for targeting cobia in different scenarios:

  • Live bait rigging that maximizes action and hookup ratios when sight fishing
  • Vertical jigging methods for working deep wrecks and offshore platforms
  • Boat positioning strategies that keep you in the strike zone without spooking fish or hanging bottom
  • Lure selection and presentation for both aggressive and finicky cobia

Whether you're fishing inshore structure or offshore wrecks, these courses cover the tactical decisions that produce consistent catches.

    Basics of Vertical Jigging

    Vertical jigging effectiveness on deep wrecks, reefs, and oil platforms depends on understanding how high-speed versus slow-pitch presentations trigger different fish responses. Captain Chad Raney's straightforward approach covers rod, reel, rig, and jig fundamentals for speed jigging that targets both pelagic species and structure-oriented fish like amberjack, grouper, snapper, and wahoo holding around vertical formations.
