Catching Cobia without a Tower - Page 2

You can always hear those ladder fishermen before you see them- that sound is their brass balls clanking together!

I am planning on using a ladder on the little seacraft. Whatever it takes IF we ever get any decent warmer water. Can't spot a brown fish in brown water.

Sure, you're limited without a tower but you're far from out of it.

If there's a decent swell, especially from the SE, you can see a few waves ahead of you and that's when the cobia are likely riding on top.

If I can spot a pod of fish from a 17 footer while driving in 3-4 foot slop, you can find them too.

chum them to the boat......

I would suggest one of these but it takes a little practice. Plus, you can use it for more than just Cobia fishing.
