I may have to back off on an earlier post.
I've always stated that you can start Cobia fishing when the dogwoods are in full bloom, Well I've passed dogwood (only one) on the way to work that is in partial bloom. Wonder if it knows something I don't?
It's about a month and a 1/2 off from a normal year.
Keeps this up and I'll plant my corn the 1st of march.

Amen to that, went over the 170 bridge yesterday.... At least the water is getting aerated. My little 17' wouldn't have made it across.
All trees aside, when you can start enjoying shorts and no shirt after the ride to your favorite spot, it's time. I'll be on the Edisto side this year, the rip and turtle get a little to crowded for me.

I'm inland a ways, got a few dogwoods in my yard. They have buds, but no blooms.

I believe that dogwoods blooming matches up with turkeys gobbling while magnolias blooming matches up with cobia..

My dogwoods are blooming, But I've never caught a cobia in the Broad in February. Maybe so, sure not saying it's impossible I might go have a look one day this week and give the redfish a break.

I've seen some Bradford pears and plum trees, but I haven't seen the first dogwood blooming.
I do agree with you that cobia will be here when the pecans put on leaves as they are the last to do so. But they are here before that.

Dogwoods are the indicator if you can put up with some cool breeze, Pecan trees are when you can sit in shorts and enjoy beer on a warm day! No doubt our trout needed this warm winter. We'll probably still get a frost in April and ruin my hopes of an early garden.

68 degrees (water temp) seems to be the magic number I remember from my cobia fishing days.

I've got a special cobia lure that I'm itching to try out. It resembles a magnolia blossom with a bunch of those yellow butterflies sitting on it.

You know the cobia are here for sure when you go out and catch one! Why hasn't anyone mentioned the yellow butterflies????

Cracker Larry is right - cause he agrees wit me - take that, you doubters!. Bet the farm - when pecan trees put leaves on - the cold crap is done and daylight hours are on on the upswing.

That would be cool - But - dogwoods don't have blossoms.

If the big females wear some dogwood blossoms in their dorsals, maybe the males won't be far behind to get the show on early! Might even bring hakunamatata back to Beaufort from Charleston... Just sayin' |

Warmer water temps will help - but also need longer daylight hours.
