There are a few fish you don’t expect to catch, or target, in the Northeast. Cobia is certainly one of them, as they rarely make their way past Chesapeake Bay. But apparently warmer-than-usual temperatures have a few of these southern fish venturing into unfamiliar climes. Cobia as big as 25 pounds are reportedly venturing as far north as Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, after a mild winter.
According to On The Water Magazine, in New Jersey and Massachusetts, cobia catches have been reported. Here’s hoping some rogue tarpon make their way up to the Cape Cod waters next. – Rick Bach
