Get ready for an epic 24-hour Offshore adventure with Captains JT and Danny chasing the big boys like Marlin, Tile Fish, Grouper, and Tuna! You will launch from Freeport around 10 am aboard their one-of-a-kind sport fisher, the "Fraiche Catch", for a luxury seafaring experience. At 38 feet long and almost 14 feet wide, the vessel offers lots of shaded space, two AC systems, satellite TV and music, and a legendary hull design.

It’s equipped with state-of-the-art electronics, safety equipment including a satellite phone, epirb, and 8 man life raft. The beautiful vessel is powered by twin 420 horsepower Yanmar diesel engines that are meticulously maintained by Captain JT.

When the bite slows down toward the afternoon, Captains JT and Danny will haul in the lines, and motor the Fraiche Catch out a little deeper to the 80-110 mile range. While you get some much-needed R&R, they will get the boat into position for the Tuna bite early the next morning. The Tuna bite is usually on a couple of hours before sunrise, so after a couple of hours of sleep, you'll wake up around 4 am to start jigging for Tuna! This is one of the only times slots when big tuna come up from the deep to feed and they are usually swimming back down to deeper water by the time the sun comes up. So you'll jig until that sun comes up then troll around in the rest of the morning before you motor back in! In terms of gear, the Fraiche Catch comes fully equipped with all the premium bottom fishing rods and reels, Penn international bent butt trolling rod and reels, and two heavy-duty electric reels for deep dropping down 350+ feet.

What is cobia in Hitchcock all about?

Cobia, also known as ling or lemonfish, are prized gamefish found in the waters around Hitchcock, Texas, known for their powerful fights and delectable taste. These sleek and muscular fish are easily identified by their long, flat bodies and dark lateral stripes. Cobia are commonly found in nearshore and offshore waters, often around structures such as oil rigs, jetties, and wrecks, where they feed on a variety of prey including fish, crabs, and squid. Anglers in Hitchcock are drawn to cobia not only for the thrill of the catch but also for the delicious fillets they provide.

Fishing for cobia in Hitchcock involves employing various techniques to entice these strong and often curious fish. One popular method is sight fishing, where anglers scan the surface of the water or cruise near structures to spot cobia swimming near the surface. Once a cobia is spotted, anglers cast lures or live bait, such as eels or pinfish, to entice the fish to strike. Another effective technique is anchoring near structures and deploying live bait or artificial lures at various depths to attract cobia patrolling the area. Cobia are known for their willingness to take a wide range of baits, making them an exciting target for anglers of varying skill levels.

While cobia can be encountered in Hitchcock's waters throughout the year, they are often more abundant during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall. During this time, water temperatures rise, and cobia become more active and visible near the surface. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shore, anglers in Hitchcock can enjoy pursuing cobia and experiencing the thrill of landing one of these prized gamefish in the rich waters of the Texas Gulf Coast.

What are the most popular months to fish for cobia in Hitchcock?

In Hitchcock, Texas, cobia seasons typically coincide with warmer months, ranging from late spring to early fall. During these times, water temperatures rise, and cobia become more active and abundant in nearshore and offshore waters along the Texas Gulf Coast. Cobia are known to migrate along the coast during these seasons, following baitfish and seeking out favorable water temperatures for feeding and reproduction.

Late spring and early summer are considered prime cobia seasons in Hitchcock, as water temperatures rise and cobia begin their northward migration along the coast. During this time, anglers often encounter schools of cobia congregating around nearshore structures such as oil rigs, jetties, and wrecks, where they feed on baitfish and other prey. Anglers targeting cobia during these peak seasons have the best chance of encountering these prized gamefish and enjoying thrilling fishing experiences offshore.

While cobia can be caught year-round in Hitchcock, understanding their seasonal movements and behavior can help anglers increase their chances of success. By timing their fishing trips to coincide with peak cobia seasons, anglers can maximize their chances of hooking into these strong and elusive fish. Whether fishing from a boat, kayak, or the shore, anglers in Hitchcock can enjoy pursuing cobia during the warmer months and experiencing the excitement of landing one of these prized gamefish along the Texas Gulf Coast.

What techniques are popular for catching cobia in Hitchcock?

Fishing for cobia in Hitchcock, Texas, requires anglers to employ a variety of techniques tailored to the behavior and habitat of these powerful gamefish. One effective method for targeting cobia is sight fishing, where anglers scan the surface of the water or cruise near structures such as oil rigs and jetties to spot cobia swimming near the surface. Once a cobia is spotted, anglers cast lures or live bait, such as eels or pinfish, to entice the fish to strike. This technique requires patience and keen observation but can result in exciting encounters with cobia cruising in clear, shallow waters.

Another productive technique for targeting cobia in Hitchcock is anchoring near structures and deploying live bait or artificial lures at various depths to attract cobia patrolling the area. Cobia are known to inhabit a range of depths, from near the surface to deeper waters, so presenting baits or lures at different levels can increase the chances of enticing a strike. Live bait such as eels, pinfish, or blue runners, as well as artificial lures like bucktail jigs, swimbaits, and soft plastics, are effective in attracting cobia and enticing them to bite.

Trolling is also a viable technique for targeting cobia in Hitchcock's offshore waters. Anglers troll with live bait or artificial lures behind boats, covering a large area and presenting their offerings at various depths to entice strikes from cobia. This method is particularly effective when targeting cobia around offshore structures such as oil rigs and wrecks, where the fish are known to congregate. By employing a combination of these techniques, anglers in Hitchcock can increase their chances of hooking into cobia and enjoying thrilling fishing experiences offshore along the Texas Gulf Coast.

What other species are popular in Hitchcock?

In addition to cobia, Hitchcock, Texas, offers anglers a diverse range of species to target, ensuring an exciting and varied fishing experience. One popular catch in these waters is the red snapper, prized for its delicious flesh and challenging fights. These vibrant red fish inhabit offshore reefs, wrecks, and oil rigs, where they feed on a variety of prey including small fish and crustaceans. Using live bait such as cigar minnows or cut bait, as well as artificial lures like jigs and soft plastics, anglers can enjoy the thrill of hooking into these prized sportfish during the open seasons.

Another sought-after species in Hitchcock is the kingfish, also known as king mackerel, valued for its fast runs and aggressive strikes. These sleek and powerful fish can be found in nearshore and offshore waters along the Texas coast, particularly around oil rigs, jetties, and reefs. Anglers often target kingfish using a variety of techniques, including trolling with live bait or artificial lures, drifting with dead bait, or casting with lures from boats or piers. Live bait such as cigar minnows or threadfin herring, as well as artificial lures like spoons, plugs, and ribbonfish rigs, are effective in enticing kingfish to bite.

Hitchcock's waters are also home to a variety of other species including grouper, snapper, mahi-mahi, and wahoo, offering anglers a diverse range of fishing opportunities offshore.

    Son and I had a awesome trip with Capt Danny. Wind was blowing but found birds and found lots of fish. Main goal was to put my son on some nice redfish and last stop paid off with four redfish in less than 20 minutes. Would have liked one slot but that is why they call it fishing and I’ll take 4 rats over nothing any day. We did get some specs and sand trout to take home. Best part was back at the dock when we rigged up a sand trout and son Hooked into a huge alligator gar that he fought for almost ten minutes. Thanks again for a enjoyable trip.
