Calling Calibogue Cobia

This cobia might be close to the boat, but he’s only just begun to fight — something a lot of fishermen learn quite by accident, to their regret.

It’s a sound idea to target the spring run of these great fish in the waters that separate Hilton Head Island from the mainland.

One of the most-anticipated events for fisherman in the Lowcountry is the annual spring cobia migration. Cobia start to show up in mid-April and hang around through most of June. May is undoubtedly the most-productive month; Hilton Head Island is literally surrounded by cobia in the Calibogue Sound to the west and the Port Royal Sound and Broad River to the north and east.

Of those waters, the Calibogue Sound receives the least attention from anglers. Click here to read more on Calling Calibogue Cobia
