Catching cobia at Avalon Pier

Pier fishing at its best. Was there two weeks ago and now all the fish show up.

They catch a lot of cobia off of NC piers. Also, I have seen as many as a dozen caught in one day from the sand on Cape Point. The beach fish that day ranged from 39 to 90 lbs. Unfortunately the NPS is getting really bad about closing the beaches to vehicles. The closures have seemed to coincide with the best time to catch Drum and cobia in the last few years.

so true

nice…any idea if cobia come around fernandina beach (florida/georgia border) much?
