Preferred Environment:

Lemonfish may be found in a variety of habitats from shallow inshore flats to sea depths of more than 3900 ft. Most Gulf Cobia winter in southern FL or offshore, migrating northward in the spring to cover the entire Gulf Coast. Dramatic runs occur along northern beaches usually beginning in March and peaking in April or May. Cobia are often found around buoys, drifting and stationary objects offshore, navigation markers, wrecks and artificial reefs, where they swim both at the surface and down deep. Many are caught from Gulf fishing piers. Juveniles and an possibly even very large Ling are sometimes caught incidentally by trout fishermen over Gulf Coast grass flats. Feeds on crabs, fishes, shellfish and squids.
