What's the Deal?

Picture this: You're cruising out of Virginia Beach as the sun's coming up, salt spray in your face, and the anticipation building. Captain Preston's got the radar fired up and he's already plotting our attack on the local cobia grounds. This ain't no lazy day of bottomfishing – we're talking light tackle action that'll have your arms burning and your heart racing. We leave the dock at 7 AM sharp, so don't be late! You'll want every minute of our 6 hours on the water. And here's a pro tip: If you've got more than three in your crew, no sweat. We can add extra anglers for just $100 each. Oh, and don't forget to bring an extra $20 for bait – trust me, you'll want the good stuff when you're trying to entice those big boys to bite.

How We Fish

Alright, let's talk strategy. When it comes to cobia, Captain Preston is all about finesse and local know-how. We're not just chunking bait and hoping for the best. Nope, we use light tackle setups that give you a real feel for the fight. Think medium-heavy spinning rods paired with 4000-5000 size reels spooled with 30-40lb braid. We'll be sight fishing a lot of the time, scanning the surface for those telltale brown shadows. When we spot one, it's all about making the perfect cast and working your bait or lure just right. Cobia can be choosy, so sometimes we'll switch between live eels, bucktails, or even topwater lures to figure out what they're in the mood for. Captain Preston's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, so even if the bite's tough, we'll find a way to put fish in the boat.

Meet the Mighty Cobia

Let me tell you, when it comes to offshore game fish, cobia are in a league of their own. These bruisers can grow over 100 pounds, and even an average fish will give you the fight of your life. They're curious creatures, often hanging around buoys, markers, or even swimming alongside rays and turtles. That's why we call 'em "crab eaters" – they're not picky and will chase down all sorts of prey. Summer is prime time for cobia in Virginia Beach waters, usually peaking from June through August. What makes them so exciting? For one, they're unpredictable. One minute you're sight casting to a fish lazily cruising the surface, the next you're holding on for dear life as it makes a blistering run. And let's not forget, they're delicious on the grill. Nothing beats bringing home a cooler full of fresh cobia fillets after a day on the water.
