April along Florida’s Emerald Coast means the spring migration of Cobia to their breeding grounds is in full swing. Cobia by the thousands swim close to the beach in search of their next meal whether it be a crab or a minnow. Fisherman sight them from the tower on their boats casting crabs, eels, & sometimes artificial jigs. Cobia like to ride on top of the following current making their way west. Yesterday one apparently took a wrong turn into the inlet where teenage Fisherman were able to land one from the Destin bridge. An incredible sight. The excitement from the kids makes for a great video. ENJOY!
