  • VMRC sets cobia regulations

    I have a lot of fishing I want to do before the season opens, but you can bet I'll be ready come June 1! Who else is eager for some cobia fishing?

    Straight from VMRC -

    "March 28, 2017: The Virginia Marine Resources Commission today voted unanimously to open the recreational cobia fishery on June 1 and to close it on Sept. 15. Anglers may keep one fish per day and the daily vessel possession limit will increase from two to three fish per day. The minimum size limit will remain at 40 inches, with one fish per vessel allowed to be 50 inches or greater. Gaffing will continue to be prohibited. These measures were a compromise to appropriately manage a stock that has seen increased fishing effort in recent years. [Meeting Summary]"

      I certainly wouldn't mind a road trip to fish for them.
