My buddy Rick and I each got a spade fish on bow and arrow while fishing offshore from St. Augustine about ten miles. They are always hanging out right over wrecks, and swim near the surface, so it doesn't take long to get a good shot at them.

      Don't see many cobias but the cudas and kings hang out near my chum bags. but never bite. I guess I will try with a bow.

      Theoretically, you might with cudas, because they hang out under the boat sometimes, but I've never seen kings swimming nearby. Cobia would be a potential target, ...more but I'd want the arrow tied to a buoy if I was doing that. I'm not sure if it's even legal to shoot cobia. But spade fish are definitely legal.
