Pink or Chartuese bucktails are always my choice when cobia fishing. I havent been yet this year, but I hear they are doing good out of Sebastian and out Vero. There is a reef a few of my buddies found somewhere near Vero and they have been catching alot of cobia on it.

i have some weighted bucktails that aren't very condusive to kyack fishing.  they sink when thrown out.  i was thinking using live mullet.

RE:cobia info

Yeah. I see what you mean. I like to fish artificials from a kayak but it is alot of work, and I didnt think about the fact that you're gonna be getting pushed around in the surf.

Finger Mullet and Pinfish have everywhere lately, so you shouldnt have too much trouble cast netting them. Go to walmart and buy some really cheap canned cat food, and throw it out into the water. Wait like 5-10 minutes and cast net on it. You should get as many pinfish as you need in one or two casts
