Nearshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for cobia in Virginia as well as inshore fishing, river fishing, and flats fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Virginia are bottom fishing, trolling, and light tackle fishing but live bait fishing and jigging are popular as well.

How much do Virginia cobia fishing charters cost?

Prices for cobia in Virginia can range anywhere from about $685 to $2,000, but the average price for a half day trip for cobia in Virginia is $1,072. The average price for a full day trip for cobia in Virginia is $1,484.

Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for cobia fishing in Virginia?

The most popular season for cobia fishing in Virginia is summer, and most anglers book their trips 59 days in advance.

Do I need a Virginia fishing license for cobia and what are the bag limits for cobia in Virginia?

    Great trip! My kids enjoyed it.

    My husband, brother-in-law, and father had an incredible time with Kaleb! I planned the trip as a Father’s Day outing, and they all had an absolute blast. They haven’t stopped talking about it and are already asking when they can book their next trip with him! Kaleb was personable, accommodating, and communicative from the moment the trip was booked. He made everyone feel comfortable and ensured they had an unforgettable experience on the water. His knowledge, professionalism, and laid-back personality made for the perfect day. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable fishing charter with a captain who truly cares about his guests having a great time, I highly recommend booking with Kaleb. We’ll definitely be back!

    Had the pleasure of having Kaleb as our guide and would highly recommend him. He put my son on to his first few cobia and he had a blast. Kaleb was friendly, knowledgeable and put in max effort to put us on the fish.

    Capt. Chuck was awesome! We had a slight delay for some boat maintenance, but he handled it quickly and still got us out there and on fish. This trip was for my fiancé’s birthday, and all he wanted was to catch a tautog—and he did!! 🎣 Huge win and such a great moment. The seas had some big swells, but honestly it just added to the adventure. Between the sunshine, great friends, and steady action, it turned into an incredible day on the water. First mate Dave was absolutely on it the whole time—hooks baited, lines managed, always right there when you needed him. Super professional and made the whole experience smooth and fun. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip—we’ll definitely be back!
