Hard-fighting pelagic prowler of northern NSW, QLD and northern Australia — often shadows rays, sharks and FADs. Targeted by sight-casting big soft plastics, jigs and live baits. Excellent eating and a serious adversary on spin gear.
Generally fished with medium tackle — match gear to the conditions and the size of fish you expect.
No seasonal pattern for cobia yet. Seasons shift with water temperature and local conditions — check state fisheries advice and recent local reports before planning a trip.
