One of the most anticipated events of the annual fishing calendar for those living in the greater Orlando area is the spring cobia run. This month-long migration is keyed to the rising water temperatures just off-shore and with all the cold weather we’ve been experiencing the cobia run has not reached the near shore waters of Port Canaveral but we expect it any day now. Therefore, since the weather was picture-perfect this morning, my good buddy, Capt. Don Patterson, and I took the middle part of the day to make an inspection tour … still no cobia yet but we did run into a pod of the largest creatures I’ve ever seen – rare North Atlantic Right Whales – located just outside the entrance to the Port.
PS If these big fellows stick around for a while I’m going to need a bigger boat, for sure!
