About Cobia
A sight-fishing dream — large, aggressive, and one of the strongest fighters in nearshore waters
→ Full Cobia guide: habits, gear & how to catch themWhen to fish Boca Raton
Year-round fishing with familiar South Florida peaks. Snook stack at the Boca and Boynton inlets in the warm months (harvest seasons apply). Sailfish peak December through March offshore; mahi run April through August; kingfish are best spring and fall. Tarpon move through the inlets and along the beaches April through July. The spring cobia migration shows over the nearshore reefs. Pompano and bluefish work the beaches in the cooler months. Summer is calm and hot with afternoon storms; winter cold fronts turn on the sailfish and the beach pompano bite.
