This Spring the Manta Rays will be migrating and the cobia will be right with them!
The Rays will be flying out of the water. So you can sight fish them fairly easy. Find the rays and you found cobia also.
A manta ray with a 20 foot wing span really sticks out above as well as below the water.
It's amazing to cruise along next to them and just watch them. Have a spinning rod handy with a jig, or even some squid or better yet a half of crab. That cobia will swim right out from under the ray and grab your bait, boom!, the fight is on.
Cobia love crabs, they will do anything for them. They also love structures in the open water as well as following these manta rays for food.
One month from now this will be going on right here. Only happens once a year like this.
I can take 3 people. But let me say first that the best day to do this is on days that have some good swells. It's easier to spot them when the ocean is not flat.
It's a fun ride but you have to hang on!
Here is a cobia cruising under a ray:
