PLAN YOUR TIME ON THE WATER

Lemonfish around the rigs.

Louisianans call them lemonfish. Cobia cruise near the surface around rigs, buoys and floating cover, and they often show up while you’re fishing for something else, so the crew keeps a rod ready.

They’re one of the best-eating fish in the Gulf, and every charter includes fish cleaning at the dock.

Catches depend on season, conditions and current regulations. A photograph records a past catch, not a promise for your trip.

Good fit

Who this trip suits

  • Groups who want a hard-fighting fish that eats well.

  • Guests who want help choosing the right dates before locking in a plan.
Planning

Planning notes

Talk through timing. Cobia plans depend on season, water, structure, and what else the group wants to target.

Keep the trip flexible. A mixed offshore plan gives DTB room to adapt the day to conditions.

Call about cobia. The calendar shows open dates; call if cobia is the main goal.

Before you go

What to bring and confirm

  • Confirm season and target expectations before booking.
  • Bring sun protection and comfortable non-marking shoes.
  • Ask whether cobia should be the main target or part of a mixed offshore plan.
